It seems Arsenal is setting their sights on Ivan Toney as a key transfer target, recognising the competition from clubs like Chelsea for the talented striker. To make funds available for this acquisition, the Gunners are reportedly willing to offload several players.
Brentford, aware of Toney’s importance, is not in a rush to let go of their star striker and is seeking a premium for his transfer. Given Arsenal’s significant transfer spending in the previous window, it appears they may face challenges in affording a substantial fee for Toney without generating funds through player sales.
According to Express Sport, Arsenal is prepared to sell at least four players—Eddie Nketiah, Aaron Ramsdale, Thomas Partey, and Emile Smith Rowe—to finance the move. These players, deemed not as effective for the club, are seen as expendable by manager Mikel Arteta in the pursuit of strengthening the squad with Toney’s addition.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Toney is a top striker, and we must make some sacrifices to add him to our group.
The Englishman has never played for a huge club, but he can do a good job for us if we add him to the group, and he keeps the form he showed in the last two terms.

Hope the next signing is no other than the one and only Marina Granoskaia.
Edu is doing a great job so he keeps his place as long as he can. Not sure why you’d want a Russian in our club though, given the brawl it’ll attract.
The article doesn’t say they are prepared to sell the 4 mentioned players. It highlighted that they would have to sell before they could buy
He is kinda target man, which may be beneficial for us in some tight matches but he might hamper our fluidity which is already lacking this season.
Three English players out, for just one in.
I must say if we can do this I won’t go for toney I would aim for either osihmen or Mbapp r
Ridiculous deal, swapping four good players for one, not even guaranteed to perform better than any of the four players without injuries is criminal
