Arsenal has been linked with a potential move for Brentford’s Ivan Toney, and there have been reports suggesting that the club could make a move for him in the January transfer window once his ban concludes.
Toney was reportedly on the verge of a transfer in the last window but was prevented from moving due to his long-term ban.
While Toney is now gearing up to contribute to Brentford’s efforts in the second half of the season, several top clubs in the country are said to be interested in acquiring his services, with Arsenal among them.
However, a report from Football Insider suggests that Arsenal may face difficulties in their pursuit of Toney. It is indicated that Brentford has no intention of parting with the striker midway through the season.
Instead, they plan to hold onto him until the end of the campaign, by which time they hope to have secured their status in the top flight for another season. This suggests that Arsenal’s chances of signing Toney in January could be slim, as Brentford seems intent on retaining him until the summer.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Toney is arguably the most important player at Brentford and everyone can see how they have struggled without him in the group.
We can understand why they want him to stay until the end of the season and it could also be good for us.
In the summer, we will have more than enough cash and can also offload some of our players to make room for his arrival.

Surely there is someone out there better than Toney.
Arsenal have wonderful traditions and are known as a club built on integrity.
Why would they want a player who bet against his own team?
And you can never forget his “nice kick around with the boys” taunt. B*****d
I don’t think Arsenal will be under pressure to sign Brentdord’s Ivan Toney next winter window. For, the club already has GJesus and Nkethia as 2 top strikers in the ranks of the team. Dor this reason, Arsenal will not sign Ivan Toney or a new other striker next Jan for that matter.
Saved, if one of the duo of Gabby and Eddie is sidelined with a long term injury. Or is out of form to not scoring goals and providing assists regularly in games for Arsenal. Only then I think would Arsenal make some efforts to sign a new top quality regular goals scoring striker at the top level. Who could be Ivan Toney or not.
SAA “2 top strikers” for a Club which has previously featured Radcliffe, Smith, Wright, Henry, Bergkamp, RVP and Sanchez?

No dice
Arsenal should take a punt on young Nigerian Ghent striker Gift Orban; 2022-23 , 22 appearances 16 goals and 2023-24 so far 18 appearances, 17 goals.
Lower price and high potential, scoring goals in Belgium and European competition for fun.
