Arsenal really want to sign £80 million powerhouse ‘Emirates Stadium looks his most likely destination’

It has been claimed that Arsenal are the biggest admirers of Brentford Striker Ivan Toney this transfer window.

The Gunners ended 2023 in poor fashion, as their inability to score goals meant that they are no longer top of the Premier League and could be five points behind Liverpool by the end of New Years day.

That has led to all sorts of speculation in the media that Ivan Toney is the man that Mikel Arteta, and most of the ARSENAL fans, are very keen to to see arrive over the next few weeks.

The big powerhouse banged in 20 goals for Brentford last season and is easily regarded as one of the best forwards in the Premier League, despite the fact he has been out of action for a few months due to his off field antics.

And if you believe the words of talkSPORT’s Alex Crook – Arsenal will find it very difficult to sign Toney this transfer window, he said: ‘Arsenal are the biggest admirers of Toney and, while the Emirates Stadium looks his most likely destination, a deal in January is looking increasingly difficult for the Gunners to pull off.

‘After investing heavily in the summer, Arsenal would have to sell before they could even entertain the idea of paying Brentford’s asking price of at least £80million.

‘Rejecting Crystal Palace’s advances for Eddie Nketiah is a big indicator that they are not planning to bring in a big-money striker at this juncture. 

‘Strengthening the midfield appears to be Mikel Arteta’s main priority, so Toney may have to wait until the summer.’
