đ¨â˝Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta explains his reason why he refused the club from signing Ivan Toney this summer that most fans might get angry about

Mikel Arteta reportedly turned down the opportunity to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney during the summer transfer window due to concerns about how his personality might impact Arsenalâs team unity. Despite the club being in a title race with Manchester City, Arteta opted to focus on the existing squad instead of bringing in a new forward. This decision followed a meeting with Toney, after which Arteta felt that the player’s attitude and overall fit might not align with Arsenal’s team-oriented culture.
Arsenal insiders and journalist Charles Watts had also previously suggested that club officials were unimpressed with Toney during initial discussions, raising concerns about his attitude and personality. Toney, who later secured a lucrative move to Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League, had expressed interest in joining a top-six Premier League side, including Arsenal, but Arteta prioritized squad harmony over a new signing.
The decision to pass on Toney reflects Arteta’s commitment to maintaining a cohesive team environment, which has been a key factor in Arsenalâs recent resurgence.
