Arsenal gives Ivan Toney a boost as Brentford admits the player will leave the Bees ‘very soon’

Football — 04/11/2024

Both Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in Ivan Toney, and Brentford has admitted that the player could leave “very shortly.”

Ivan Toney is eager to play again after a long ban, and he is said to be thrilled that Arsenal might be interested. Toney has only been allowed to watch on catch-days this season. The England striker, who is worth £100 billion, is said to be “very excited” about the Gunners’ interest as he gets ready to return from a betting ban next month. Also, Bees director Lee Dykes thinks there will be “a great deal of interest” in the 27-year-old player during the January transfer window.

The star player, who has only played one game, got twenty goals last season, showing that he is the natural finisher that Arsenal and Chelsea want.

Dykes told the Brentford newspaper, “There should be interest, and it may happen very soon that Ivan moves on to another club.”

But because he is a good player, they will have to pay a fair transfer fee to get him.

“I am so excited for Ivan to come back because I see him in training and he is such a great player—he looks like he has never been away,” Dykes said. “Ivan has an amazing amount of skills.”

The look in his eyes tells me that he is going to do even better than any other time. His real desire to reach his goals is clear. There is no doubt in my mind that this will happen.

There are rumors that the Bees might try to get nine figures for Toney, but an offer of eighty million pounds might be more realistic.

And in the end, teams in the Premier League might be able to get him for a price closer to sixty million pounds.

Brentford’s manager, Thomas Frank, has already said that the Bees “are a selling club if the right price is there.”

Additionally, Dykes is sure that he will be able to bring in a lot of money. 

He told them, “Yes, there will be a lot of interest in Ivan on January 9th.” It stands to reason that there should be.

The previous season, he scored the third most goals in the Premier League. Two of those goal-scorers, Harry Kane, now play for a club in Germany. He is now thought to be one of the best forwards in the division. My assessor says he is one of the top five in the whole world.
