Mikel Arteta could convince Arsenal to pay £60m for attacking target

Posted by

Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

The Gunners could look to make a move for the 27-year-old striker at the end of the season and a report via Fichajes claims that Mikel Arteta could convince the Premier League side to pay £60 million for him. However, Brentford value the player at £68 million and it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can reach a compromise.

Toney is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League and he should prove to be a quality addition to the Arsenal attack. They need a reliable goalscorer to lead the line for them and the 27-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. Arsenal have been competing for the league title since last season and they need quality players to go all the way.

Someone like Toney could make a big difference for them in the final third and improve them immensely. He could prove to be an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus, who has scored just four times in the league this season.

Ivan Toney could join Arsenal but only for an important offer

The striker will want to join a big club and Arsenal are certainly one of the biggest clubs in the country. They could offer him the platform to showcase his abilities in the UEFA Champions League next season. It would be the ideal step up in his career and he will hope that the two clubs can agree on a fee soon.
