The report claims Arsenal have long been interested in Toney and could have moved for him in the summer if he was not suspended. Toney wants to leave Brentford for a bigger club and has indicated he will not sign an extension to his contract that expires in 2025.
Arsenal are not the only team in London interested in signing Toney. Chelsea’s woes in front of goal have continued this season and they are keeping an eye on the forward’s situation.
Tottenham are also tracking Toney following the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the summer. Manchester United are said to have shown an interest before signing Rasmus Hojlund.
Arsenal are pushing to be at the front of the queue and beat their rivals to his signature. Toney has scored 32 goals in 66 league matches since Brentford’s promotion in 2021.
