Brentford Boss Thomas Frank Addresses Arsenal’s Interest in Ivan Toney
Brentford manager Thomas Frank has responded to Arsenal’s rumored interest in signing Ivan Toney during the January transfer window. Toney is set to return to football after serving an eight-month ban for betting offenses. The striker, who scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season, has been linked to both Arsenal and Chelsea. Toney has hinted that Arsenal would be his preferred destination, but a move to the Emirates is unlikely.
When asked about the possibility of Toney moving to Arsenal, Frank stated that he is unaware of any bids and emphasized that Toney is currently a Brentford player. Frank expressed his desire to keep Toney, describing him as an unbelievably good striker who has proven himself in the Premier League. He eagerly anticipates Toney’s return and believes it will be like signing a top-quality striker.
Frank clarified that while he would love to keep Toney, he wouldn’t use the word “desperate” to describe his desire. He values Toney as an important player and enjoys having him on the team. Brentford recently suffered a 4-1 defeat to Wolves and will face Crystal Palace in their next match.
In related news, Thierry Henry has praised Dominic Solanke, who is also a transfer target for Arsenal. Additionally, there are suggestions that Arsenal should consider signing three strikers in the January window.
