Ivan Toney has seen little action for England at Euro 2024 as he remains on Arsenal’s transfer shortlist.
The Brentford man cannot get into the team ahead of Harry Kane and has only played a few minutes in some games.
However, in his last two cameo appearances, he made an impact, with the most impressive being his penalty against Switzerland in the shootout.
The Brentford striker scored one of the most remarkable spot-kicks against the Swiss goalkeeper. He did not look at the ball and placed it perfectly in a corner.
Fans were stunned by his technique, which he has used successfully for his club as well.
Saka has now spoken about it and revealed that even the England players are amazed by the technique from the Arsenal target.
He said, as quoted by The Sun:
“It’s crazy. We’re all just in awe, I don’t know how you cannot look at the ball.
“When we see him practising in training, he does the same thing.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Toney has one of the best penalty-taking techniques in the Premier League and often rarely misses his kick.
The striker remains on our radar, but for him to thrive in our team, he needs to do more than scoring penalties.

His extreme coolness and nerveless looks should make
him appealing to AFC . this is a talented and ambitious
man.
He looked straight at the keeper the whole time, then drilled it in…Impressive
If we can’t get any of our main targets I’d go for Toney as a back up. Upgrade on Nketiah
We were very fortunate not to get Sesko ….. He isn’t a goal poacher. He missed a number of clear cut chances at Euro
He has been extremely superb in taking penalties in Brentford so for me if we do sign him it will be a great addition
And our main targets Victor gyokeres, Vincent Osehemen are too expensive compared to him now Brentford has lowered his price to around £40 to £50million so if possible we for him
Love to see him in red
Nketiah is still better than Toney by a distance. Everything is not skills and technical gift. Haaland, Mbappe, Thierry Henry and Rooney were not tiki taka players like Nketiah but they were merciless in front of goals.
If Arteta device a good formula for Nketiah as he did against Sheffield United, by placing Smith Rowe behind him while Martinelli attack from the left and Zinchenko starting as the left full back, Nketiah will be on fire as a striker! He scored hat trick in less than 60 minutes on that very game.
The problem is that Arteta has never repeated that formation again.
Keep dreaming, when you wake up we will know… Nkettiah scored hatrick against last seasons worse team in the division
Have you not seen enough of him to?
Absolutely incredible, just absolutely incredible!
