David Ornstein has given a significant update on Arsenal's reported pursuit of Brentford striker Ivan Toney.
David Ornstein gives Ivan Toney to Arsenal transfer update, Ornstein confirmed that there is 'admiration' among Emirates Stadium chiefs for Toney - but there is an issue involved that could allow other clubs to jump ahead of them in the queue to sign the 26-year-old.He wrote:"Toney's contract expires in 2025 and while Brentford would love him to extend, there is no sign of it at the moment. Unless that changes, they'll need to at least consider a sale.
"The structure of their deal for David Raya shows FFP is a real concern, and although the Kroenkes have shown a willingness to spend heavily, they might not be able to do this easily."Chelsea might seek to sign a striker, if Manchester United's forwards do not produce and they free up some funds through departures, they could potentially look to enter the market, and I'm sure there are suitors.
