‘He will score 20 Premier League goals’ for Arsenal – Gunners tipped to sign £80M man

Jay Bothroyd has backed Arsenal to sign Brentford’s banned star Ivan Toney in the January transfer window.

ARSENAL have improved most areas of the pitch this summer window and brought in players that will only improve their chances of winning that Premier League title form Manchester City.

But there has been some rumours in the media that Mikel Arteta is looking to get some more transfer deals done in the January window and try to add a more proven striker to the squad that can bang in 20 goals a season.

Toney, who is currently serving an eight-month ban for betting rule breaches, scored 20 Premier League goals last season with Brentford and is a man that all the big clubs are interested in signing despite his ban.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID – 

The former Gunners academy ace believes that Toney would net at least 20 goals a season at the Emirates, He told Sky Sports: “[Toney’s] an A for me, he scores goals, he’s prolific, he’s strong, he leads the line really well.

“If you put him in one of the top teams he will score at least 20 Premier League goals per season.

“Great on penalties, penalties he’s unbelievable. If you took him to someone like Arsenal, I would love Arsenal to sign him now. I think he would score more goals than Jesus, than Ollie Watkins, in the Premier League.”

SHOULD ARSENAL SIGN TONEY?

Look, Toney will be our for the next few months because of issues off the pitch – but that doesnt hide the fact he is a proven 20-goal a season Premier League striker – he really is quality.

Arsenal are lacking a big man like Toney up top and the way that Arteta plays – he would fit into the system perfectly at the Emirates.

Gabriel Jesus may be the number one at ARSENAL – but once he gets injured, Eddie Nketiah comes in and does a good job, but he is not a 20-goal striker.

Toney would be a buy that Arsenal fans would welcome.
