Brenford’s striker Ivan Toney continues to be one of the most targeted players in the Premier League, with Arsenal and Chelsea as the main teams interested in signing him in the short or the medium term, which would have made the Bees to take a desperate measure to secure the player at least until the end of the season.

Toney, who is currently training with the team aiming to make his return to the league after having faced a long ban imposed by the FA, would have said goodbye to his gambling problems and would be ready to make a great impact with Brentford, that would be waiting for the player’s return to jump to the European positions in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea, who are currently looking for a top striker would have already identified the English player as the right man to sign, which would have put Brentford on the ropes, and the Bees would have decided to take a desperate measure to grant the continuity of their player in the team for the second part of the season.
