Arsenal could be on the brink of landing a remarkable deal for Brentford striker Ivan Toney, with reports suggesting the Gunners could secure the England international for just £30 million.
As the transfer window edges closer to its conclusion, Mikel Arteta and Edu seem determined to bolster their squad, particularly in the striking department, where Arsenal lacked a true No. 9 last season.
Toney, who has consistently been one of the Premier League’s standout forwards, has been linked with a move to Arsenal for several months.
Despite being valued at over £80 million earlier in the summer, Brentford appears to be lowering their asking price as interest from other clubs has not materialized as expected.
The 28-year-old striker has proven his worth in the Premier League, earning praise from footballing legends like Jamie Carragher, who hailed him as “one of the best attacking players in the league.” Toney’s clinical finishing and ability to lead the line would offer Arsenal the attacking prowess they have been missing.
Brentford’s decision to reduce Toney’s price tag likely stems from his contract situation, with only one year remaining on his current deal.
If no club swoops in this summer, the Bees risk losing him for an even lower fee in January or for free next year.
For Arsenal, this presents a golden opportunity to add a proven Premier League goal scorer to their ranks at a fraction of the earlier asking price.
Should the Gunners secure Toney’s signature, it could prove to be one of the bargains of the summer, giving Arteta a significant boost in his quest to strengthen Arsenal’s attack.
