Arsenal could end the season by winning the Premier League title but will still look to strengthen their squad in the summer. The Gunners were touted with a move for a new striker during the January window and Brentford’s Ivan Toney was one of those names mentioned.
360gist.com.ng understands that Arsenal will target a different profile of player to Toney, though this could change once the transfer window is underway.
Toney made an immediate impact upon returning from his ban for gambling offences, scoring four in his first five games before ending a goal drought. The 28-year-old has proven his quality in the top-flight, ending last season with 20 league goals for the Bees.
The striker has been outspoken in his desires to compete for major honours at another club amid links with Arsenal and Chelsea.
However, former Watford striker Troy Deeney has provided two reasons why he thinks Toney may miss out on a big-money move, with the England international’s ‘personality’ brought into question.
