Arsenal is among the clubs interested in acquiring the services of the banned Brentford striker, Ivan Toney, and Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on his future.
Arsenal has been monitoring the English striker since Brentford’s promotion to the Premier League and has continued to express interest in him.
Currently serving a ban for betting-related offences, Toney is expected to depart from his current club in the upcoming year.
According to Romano, the striker has expressed his intention to embark on a new footballing adventure in 2024. This announcement could potentially provide Arsenal with a boost in their pursuit of securing his signature.
He tweeted:
“Ivan Toney’s plan remains clear: try new, different opportunity in 2024 as he signed with new agents, represented by Stellar.
“Arsenal and Chelsea are both informed on potential conditions of the deal for January or summer, different price.
“Race still open.”
This opens the door for the Gunners to raise the funds needed to seal the deal for him, but they will face competition from other top clubs.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Toney is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and the Englishman will certainly do a good job for us.
However, adding him to the group means the end of the road for one of Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus, with Nketiah the more likely to be let go by the club.

Evan Fergusson is a prospect..
I don’t see that the signing of Toney should signal the end of Nketiah’s time at the club – the fact that he is not good enough should signal the end.
The same goes for Nelson in my opinion and I ask myself would city, pool, Barca, madrid and their ilk be vying for their signatures?
I’ll support you both while you wear the shirt, but it’s time to be honest.
Nelson is good player and performing whenever Arteta has given him chances in last 1 year. So club should keep him as competition for LW/RW positions. He is homegrown also.
The problem is with Arteta as whenever hist 1st 11 is available he does not give chances to bench players.
Yes Mikel should give the younger homegrown players more chances. Smith Rowe definitely should have more opportunities and I would like to see Ruell Walters given a go.
