Ivan Toney should be a great fit in Mikel Arteta’s system.
The Gunners are plotting a deal for Chelsea’s Kai Havertz who has struggled to live up to expectations at the Stamford Bridge.
Mikel Arteta is keen to improve the squad and wants to invest in the front-line this summer.
Kai Havertz is under contract until the summer of 2025 and Chelsea are demanding £70m for the German.
Club legend Ray Parlour is not thrilled about the signing and wants Arsenal to Ivan Toney who is expected to make a big move.
“You need an out-and-out goalscorer, if you’re Arsenal,” Parlour told talkSPORT.
“They’ve got so much good back-up play behind the striker, but they need someone to put the ball in the net.
“For me, I don’t think that’s the right signing but obviously Edu and Mikel Arteta will be talking behind the scenes and thinking he can play here or there.
“Any player coming into any club, you’ve got to give them a chance. But for me, it’s a shame, I’d have gone for Ivan Toney but he’s obviously got that ban and whether they want to take a chance with that…but he would have been the obvious choice for me.”
