If Arsenal or Chelsea decide to pursue an acquisition of Ivan Toney, Brentford has set a high price for him. After serving an eight-month sentence for betting crimes, the striker has resumed first-team training in anticipation of his return.
Toney has been thinking about his future while he has been away from the field. His suspension will end on January 17th, allowing him to return. He is happy to be leaving Brentford, even if he appreciates their support.
There has been a dearth of attacking alternatives for Mauricio Pochettino’s team in particular, and Nico Jackson’s play has drawn harsh criticism. But according to rumors from the Evening Standard, signing Toney won’t be cheap. Brentford is requesting an £80 million transfer fee—a record.
The aforementioned clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal, are more likely to make an offer of about £50 million for the striker, who turns 28 in March, even though they could afford to pay such a high amount.
