Arsenal legend tells club to sign in-form Premier League striker

Paul Merson wants Arsenal to sign Ivan Toney this summer.

The Brentford striker has scored 20 Premier League goals so far and has helped the Bees become one of the most exciting teams in the league,

He has taken his game to the next level and has been linked to several top clubs including Chelsea and Manchester United.

Despite potentially facing a lengthy ban in relation to betting breaches, Toney has several clubs enquiring about his services this summer.

Club legend Paul Merson believes the 27-year-old would be a perfect addition to his former side.

Merson told Sky Sports: “I don’t see too much difference between him and [Gabriel] Jesus, I don’t, but if I was Arsenal, I would take him. I would take him.

“He suits Arsenal down to the ground. Sometimes, you cannot go long with Jesus, but you can go long with Toney. He is good in the air; he has got a very good brain, Toney; he can see a picture.

“He is not Harry Kane, but he can do a Harry Kane job where he can come off the centre-halves and he can pass through and he can find a pass and he is tidy.”
