Boss admits £70M star could make move to Arsenal in January

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has failed to rule out the possibility of losing Arsenal target Ivan Toney before the end of the season.

ARSENAL made some big signings during the summer window and made some great deals, but there is still many in the media that Mikel Arteta needs to add another striker to that attack to offer the Gunners something different.

Brentford could ask for £70millon-plus for striker Ivan Toney in the January window amid interest from Arsenal, sources have told Football Insider.

Toney, 27, returned to Brentford training on 17 September after being suspended from all football-related activity back in May, but is widely expected to leave Brighton when the next transfer window opens up.

And if you believe all the latest rumours regarding the striker – Brentford will allow him to depart the club in the January window if clubs meet the £70 million asking price, or that are prepared to offer more.

Amid all the speculation, Brentford manager Frank is refusing to rule out the possibility of losing their star striker before the end of the season.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID – 

When asked what he expects to happen in the next transfer window, Frank replied: ‘In January? I don’t know.

‘The only thing I’m focusing on is the game tomorrow [against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup].

‘As you know we are preparing for transfer windows ahead. Of course, we are not only looking not only at striker options or full-back, we are prepared for any position if something should happen.

‘I think it’s also fair to say that if we wanted a striker in the summer we could’ve tried to get one, we got one in Neal [Maupay], you could say that, so, yeah, let’s see.’

ARSENAL already have so many great attackers – but if they managed to add Ivan Toney to the side, Man City would really be worried about losing that Premier League title that is for sure.
