The Gunners will be in the market for a new striker in the summer as both Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah has lacked consistency in front of goal.
Ivan Toney who recently served his eight-month ban is expected to play for one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs when the new season commences in August.
Brentford striker Ivan Toney has been a prime target for several Premier League clubs and he would be a huge upgrade to current striking options Jesus and Nketiah.
In recent times, Toney has been valued at £100m but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano believes his price will significantly drop in the summer.
“Another story that could be relevant for Chelsea, who want to sign a striker this summer, and also for Arsenal, is that Thomas Frank has spoken publicly about Ivan Toney being likely to leave at the end of this season. He’ll have just a year left on his contract, so his price tag will likely be lower than the £100m it would have cost to sign him in January,” Romano said.
“I think this situation makes sense and I don’t think clubs needed Frank to say that, it’s quite obvious and also one of the reasons why no one wanted to pay that amount of money in January.”
