If Arsenal does not sign a striker during the winter transfer window, it will be shocking. Why wouldn’t they when their striking has been termed inefficient, requiring them to purchase a top striker to make it efficient? Brentford’s Ivan Toney has been linked the most among the several great strikers Arsenal could target. Apparently, Arsenal executives believe he has the potential to lead the club to glory.
According to a story in the Sun concerning Toney, Chelsea decision-makers are certain Arsenal wants Toney and will go to any length to sign him.
With that in mind, they claim Chelsea is aware of the Toney-transfer competition and is eager to compete with Arsenal and Tottenham (both of which are interested in the 27-year-old).
With the bees unwilling to let Toney leave on the cheap, a transfer battle would be music to their ears.
Arsenal will need to be cautious in their approach to Toney. If I were a decision-maker at the club, I would have considered a swap plus cash deal offer.
Eddie Nketiah supporters may bash me in the comments section, but I believe he could be a good option in a player-plus-cash deal for Brentford’s hitman.
The Gunners offering Brentford a replacement and some cash may persuade them to prefer doing business with them over Chelsea and Tottenham.
Do you think Arsenal should consider swapping Nketiah for Toney plus a cash offer?

That’s not a bad idea, if the club is bent on getting the senior Englishman.
This would show we are looking to get creative.
Man City 1 – 1 Liverpool , conclude the game now mr referee, we have seen enough
I don’t know enough about Toney but I do about Nketiah. He is not good enough. Nice lad, impresses Arteta with his attitude.
But limited ball skills, limited ‘vision’ and limited success rate with chances.
This aren’t realistic, offering Pathey to Juventus for Vlahovic more like it since they want him.
Why would Thomas Frank want to give Toney for Nketiah after giving us Raya?
Everything depends on money, as long as we can satisfy them with money nothing is impossible.
I think Toney’s high-pressing effort isn’t as good as Nketiah’s, which might prevent Arteta from signing him
He was also charged with hundreds of betting violations, including the bets he made against his club
Arsenal would likely stay away from players with that kind of bad public image and gambling problems
Is Toney a striker that can win you the league? I have my doubts
Will Brentford match or better Eddies high salary? Probably not
This Liverpool team are toothless, the attacks are too dull sluggish. If not they supposed to have scored 2 goals against City.
Which daft club would wish to let their Porsche leave in exchange for a mere Citroen!!?
Unless there was a MOUNTAIN of cash as well , probably most of the value of the Porsche on its own, anyway.
OT, Man city had a goal disallowed against
Liverpool because of slight touch with the goalie, Yet with both hands in Gabriel back deemed okay.
Finally some 50-50 decision against man city. Some referee decision we can cheer about.
Makes a nice change. But the big wait is for the Powers the Be to take action after City’s 100 plus (alleged) FP ills.
Why would it be “shocking” if we did not sign a striker in the January window?Having spent a pile in the summer break what makes you think we can continue to spend without infringing FFP rules.?
Game on at Etihad!
So, we the opportunity to climb on Liverpool and Man city today after they both played out draw.
I thought the City v Liverpol game was superb standard and boith gave scary perfs for us to worry about. FAIR result though and Liverpool are CERTAINLY THE REAL DEAL. We already knew City were.
Yes, we could perhaps be top tonight, but IMO our title chances look far less realistic now than I had thought two hours or so ago.
Really? ….and from previous comments assumed you had a coaching certificate. Citeh played as bad as they did against us BUT Liverpool was so poor they couldnt put them down. I hope the same team structure and AA plays in defence against us.
Re eddie, i like him off field but he cannot start and unless we are winning well should not even come on. When he has not played then comes on. he becomes selfish and goes for goal even when his teammates have a better chance. Relegated Leeds didnt keep him for a reason
I’d personally prefer not to. I am not sure Ivan Toney is a brilliant personality and is essentially just a Poundland Harry Kane. Of course, that still makes him very good, annoyingly.
Sell Nketiah by all means, because for all his effort and liability if he was going to reach the very highest level he would’ve already done it by now. Late bloomers like Ian Wright are few and far between.
YESYESYESYES PLEASE!!!!!!!
