Arsenal’s pursuit of Ivan Toney has received a significant boost as the striker is reportedly keen on joining the club. Toney is among the strikers targeted by Arsenal to address their goalscoring issues, and the Gunners have been monitoring him for an extended period.
Although Toney faced a ban for betting-related offences during the summer, he is expected to return to action for Brentford in the second half of the season. Arsenal, looking to bolster their attacking options, could potentially secure his services in the January transfer window.
The Gunners view Toney as an ideal fit for their system, and a report in the Daily Mail suggests that Toney is excited about the prospect of donning Arsenal’s red and white shirt. His potential addition could provide Arsenal with additional firepower as they aim to sustain their title challenge.
Just Arsenal Opinion
As one of the top clubs in the country, we expect Toney to be excited about joining us, but that does not guarantee that we will win the race for his signature.
We have to keep working on the deal and ensure no other suitor beats us to add him to their squad.

Toney has been a proven top rated Epl regular goals scorer for Brentford.
But his being suspended for half a season has led to his not playing any top competitive football game. And this is where the problem lies for Toney I would think.
Because for this important reason, of Arsenal not knowing the real current state of Toney’s football game playing whether is still at the top level or not..
i don’t think Arsenal would want to sign Ivan Toney during the incoming January transfer window. More especially if Brentford’s asking price for him to transfer to Arsenal is high beyond the price that Arsenal will want to take a gamble to land his signing next January.
So therefore, in my own thinking, and with all other things considered relating to a possible transfer of Toney to Arsenal next January window. But to me, the possibility of Arsenal signing Toney next month looks remote.
Toney is the least suitable striker among those touted for Arsenal. For the price tag put on him, he’s too monolithic, rigid , stiff and unexciting for Arsenal. He’s not even the right age to be resold if he doesn’t work for Arsenal.
Totally agree with you. Nothing special about Toney. Would be better off re-signing Olivier Giroud,
It would be a risk to sign a player who is not a professional football active. He did Brentford good no doubt, but went absent for quite an amount of time from the scene.
Of a immediate important interest to me, is the Arsenal Epl home match against the unpredictable Brighton team.
For, on their having a good day in a match, they can hurt any top team. Just like they hurt us Arsenal at home last season in the Epl when they spank us heavily and started the damage that us suffered to our title win quest.
So therefore, as the Gunners look to have a chance today Sunday to possibly return to the top of the table if the beat the Seagulls in their early kickoff match against them,.
For, Erik Ten Hag’s Red Devils team could at away to Jurgen Klopp’s Reds team beat them or play to a draw match against them in the big game match encounter. Which if it’s turned out to be so as, as I’ve envisaged it could. Ten Hag who is looking to be under pressure at Old Trafford to return to the winning ways will have a respite.
But would the surprise in’form Aston Villa team so far this season, beat the hard fighting Brentford team? I doubt. The match could end in a draw game. Or Brentford beating Aston Villa.
Man CIty had last Saturday at home played to a 2-2 draw match against Crystal Palace. And as a result have consequently dropped 2 valuable points.
The Gunners SHOULD consolidate their position in the table today, by taking at least 4 seagulls by the gun in the game and down them in it unfailingly. But no any Gunner is hurt by the Seagulls in the match.
My final score-line prediction is: Arsenal 4-0 Brighton & HA.
I love your optimism lol. not sure why you post comments in duplicates though, i think one is enough.
I’m sure Toney’s excited, and why wouldn’t he be. But I’m doubtful that Arsenal are really all that keen on him to the extent that they’d pay up to a reported £100 million, when they could get a younger Ferguson for that type of money.
It’s all nonsense speculation.
Exactly! No way we are spending that much on Ivan. Evan is also a big prospect who would’ve been a better acquisition at that amount but still we ain’t signing any striker as we are well stocked there. Forget about their goalscoring numbers cos we are not struggling to score goals.
Even if we get him in free transfer then do not sign such player who is involved in betting. Its better to sign young players like Santiago Giménez, Viktor Gyokeres
Toney signing is all about big risk big reward. Do we sign him and choose the short term investment or wait for the summer for a better younger striker more in line with what Arteta is building us up to long term. If he makes us unpredictable with his different playstyle and ends up being a big reason why we win the League then it will be 60m well spent even as a stop gap investment.
But last time we were in this situation with douglas luiz/Caicedo in January or Rice in the summer, the latter proved to be the better choice and we got a WC player in the deal.
Its all about hindsight though like maybe if we managed to buy Caicedo last Jan and he cover RB white drops to Cb or he cover Partey while the latter drops to Rb. Then we don’t suffer that much from Saliba injury and just about manage to scrap the league title. Maybe not we knows.
There is no doubt the lad wants to join us, but I don’t see this one happening
