BRENTFORD EXPECT TONEY DEPARTURE

The Mirror reports that Brentford believe that they will lose Arsenal target Ivan Toney, with contract talks yet to start.

He has 18 months on his contract remaining, and both Arsenal and Chelsea could challenge for the striker.

“Brentford appear resigned to losing Ivan Toney with the club yet to even engage in new contract talks amid interest from Arsenal,” the paper writes.

“The forward is set to return having served a lengthy gambling ban but only has 18 months left on his deal in west London. It is the same contract Toney signed when he joined from Peterborough four years ago and the Bees, whilst determined to retain him this month, appear ready to accept his departure.

‘Arsenal, who are also facing potential competition from London rivals Chelsea, will have to pay top dollar if they want to land Toney with figures of £100million quoted for the striker, who was among the top scorers in the Premier League last season.

“Both the Gunners and the Blues have experienced problems in the final third. Chelsea have lacked a prolific goalscorer for several years whilst Arsenal, who harbour hopes of a title triumph, do not have a centre forward who can be relied upon to continue firing, which is underlined by the numbers.”
