Ivan Toney linked with Premier League clubs but Arsenal ahead in race

Ivan Toney

Ivan Toney has been linked with several Premier League clubs at the moment. Arsenal is still ahead in the race for the prolific striker.

Ivan Toney is probably leaving Brentford within the next 12 months and the likely destination could be Arsenal. The striker has outgrown his current club. And he’s been very open about the fact. He’s ready to make the leap to the next level in his career.

The England international has been strongly linked to a number of clubs since the summer. But it’s Arsenal and Chelsea who have been most strongly linked with a move. This is ofcourse for the £60m man.

Another Premier League club could be the best destination for Ivan Toney

Chelsea could become even more desperate for a striker if they continue to falter in the final third. This comes while Arsenal could go off the idea of spending big money on a new forward if Gabriel Jesus hits form. And it could happen if Eddie Nketiah continues to score goals on a regular basis.

It’s almost impossible to predict summer transfers ahead of the summer. This is because there are so many variables at play. And with a player like Toney who is currently banned from playing anyway, it’s a wild guess where he will end up next season.

There is speculation that Toney could cost £100 million for any club. We personally think that it is a lot of money for a 27-year-old striker. This is especially as the player has not played in the UEFA Champions League. In my opinion, Napoli and Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen would be a way better option for Arsenal at the Emirates.

Journalist David Ornstein says that Ivan Toney is unlikely to leave Brentford in the January window.

Ornstein has said that it is more probable that Toney. He has been described “a world-class” player by former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster. He will leave Brentford at the end of the season or in the summer of 2025.
