Brentford has seemingly indicated that Ivan Toney is available for sale by signing a replacement striker. Toney, who has been on Arsenal’s radar since last season, is considered a potential solution to the Gunners’ attacking issues.
Toney’s potential move away from Brentford was previously hindered by a long-term ban, preventing him from featuring in the first half of the current season. Since his return, he has showcased his talent and attracted interest from top clubs in England.
The Sun reports that Brentford has secured the services of Igor Thiago from Club Brugge for £30 million. Thiago’s arrival, scheduled for July 1, suggests that Brentford is making preparations for Toney’s potential departure in the summer transfer window. This move could pave the way for Toney to leave Brentford, with Arsenal being one of the interested parties.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Toney is a player we can trust to do well for us, and this move by Brentford should make things easier if we act fast.
However, it does not mean they will sell Toney cheaply, and we expect the Englishman to still cost a lot of money if we succeed in luring him to the Emirates.

I was particularly keen on watching Viktor Gyokeres in the UEL game between Sporting CF and Young Boys on Thursday night. To be honest with you, that’s the kind of striker I would want to see in Arsenal. Young, strong on both feet, mobile and physically well built.
Ticks more of the ideal striker’s boxes than Toney imo.
Did Arsenal scouts assess the suitability of Igor Thiago at £30 million? Why do clubs like Brentford and Brighton identify these “prospects” to develop and sell on?
It appears we will be waiting a long time for Arsenal to pick “a winner” in buying, developing and selling players at a profit. A number of players have left for nett losses since profits were made on Iwobi and AMN.
Arsenal is not a selling club anymore. That model of buy-develope-sell is not a “big club” mentality. We should be thinking of developing players for the club and buying established players to win trophies
The days of being a feeder club to the likes of City, United and Chelsea and picking the crumbs of their rejects must be gone and gone for good.
Did Arsenal make profit on AMN? Didn’t he not leave Arsenal after his contract with them has expired?
And on Iwobi who rose through the ranks to the senior team from his been a Hale End product. Was sold to Everton for £35m according to reports then. But was that really a profit made by Arsenal as they didn’t buy him but produced him?
On the much talk about of Ivan Toney seemingly joining Arsenal next summer. I think it can’t be predicted accurately which top quality clinical finish regular goals scoring striker at the top level who Arsenal will sign.
It may be Toney or a different to him striker that they will sign.
SAA, who did Arsenal make a profit on then, if in club developed players don’t count?
Viktor Gyokeres is the real striker Arsenal should be looking to bring in, if Arteta needs a striker that suits his system.
He doesn’t only score goals but provides a lot of assists which is a clear indication of his participation in build up and unpredictability.
Wouldn’t pay the rumored fee Brentford is asking. Maybe Chelsea will, but I would avoid paying the 70 or 80 million rumored fee.
Other strikers available, no need to spend so much of our kitty for Toney.
I think Toney would be perfect and worth the money. A proven high-quality striker that could have his prime years scoring 20+ goals per season at Arsenal. Get it done!
He’d be another threat from set pieces and we’d have an option of an early cross with him in the side. I see him reaching the 15-goal mark no problem and may even reach the 20 That said I would not go to 80m for just one four-year contract I’d say he’s probably worth about fifty million because of his league experience 45 / 50 million
