TOP STORY: Arsenal, Chelsea eye Toney

Brentford will only listen to offers worth a minimum of £80 million if they are to agree to part ways with striker Ivan Toney during the January transfer window, according to Ben Jacobs.

Title-chasing Arsenal remain one of the frontrunners in the race for the 27-year-old, and it is reported that he would be open to making the switch to the Emirates Stadium.

Toney has also recently been linked with Chelsea, who have placed him on their radar as they continue to assess the market to find a striker that can help manager Mauricio Pochettino’s attack.

The Bees’ preference is said to be to keep hold of Toney until at least the end of the season, and there are also hopes of a potential contract extension at the club that would also include a release clause.

Toney’s first game back from his suspension is set to be the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 20.
