With Gabriel Jesus often injured, Arsenal is considering bringing in Ivan Toney to solve the attack problem.
Up to now, coach Mikel Arteta still does not have the strongest squad. Because Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus has a long-term injury.
Replacing the former Man City star is striker born in 1999 – Eddie Nketiah. Although he often shines every time his senior is injured, the 24-year-old player still does not make “Gunners” fans feel secure.
Sources from journalist Tom Roddy said that Arsenal’s Board of Directors is targeting striker Ivan Toney from Brentford Club. Accordingly, the 27-year-old star is currently banned from competing for 8 months due to violating betting regulations and will only return this coming January.
Before his suspension, the English player was pursued by many top European clubs. For example, we can mention some teams like Chelsea or MU. Currently, Brentford still appreciates its star and demands 80 million pounds for anyone who wants to own Ivan Toney.
Last season in the Premier League, Ivan Toney scored 20 goals and 4 assists in just 36 appearances. The Brentford star possesses impressive running skills and can play well with both feet.
In a recent conversation on The Diary Of A CEO, Ivan Toney partly answered his future plans. Specifically, he said: “When I was a boy, I really liked Arsenal. From the way they play football to the enthusiasm of the fans on the field.”
