Arsenal Joins the Race for £80 Million-rated English Striker Ivan Toney
In a recent report by The Times, Arsenal Football Club has entered the race to secure the services of English marksman Ivan Toney. The 27-year-old star, valued by Brentford at approximately £80 million, has become the center of attention for several top-tier teams in the Premier League. Presently, Toney is sidelined due to an 8-month suspension related to his involvement in betting-related activities.
According to British media, Toney is expected to make his comeback to the pitch on January 17, 2024. Various Premier League giants are rolling out the red carpet in pursuit of the 27-year-old striker. Arsenal faces fierce competition in the transfer market, with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United both expressing interest in acquiring Toney’s services. For Arsenal’s part, Manager Mikel Arteta is keen on reinforcing his striking options. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah are the most viable choices in the Gunners’ attacking lineup at the moment. 
With Arsenal competing on multiple fronts, there is a pressing need for a top-notch forward. Toney stands out as a reliable choice, having made his mark in the Premier League with impressive performances for Brentford.
Negotiations will require Arsenal to put forth a substantial offer if they intend to sway the Bees to part ways with their prized asset. Brentford has placed a valuation of around £80 million on Toney. As Arsenal strategizes its next move, securing the signature of Ivan Toney could significantly bolster their attacking prowess.
