Arsenal fans have been waiting all summer for their team to sign a new striker.
The Gunners have strengthened all other positions in the summer transfer window but a striker has still not arrived at the club.
One of their attackers, Eddie Nketiah, is close to leaving the club and expected to join Crystal Palace.
Mikel Arteta’s team have started the new season in fine form, with the club winning both their matches 2-0 and starting the new season exactly how they finished the last season.
According to Football Insider, the Gunners are considering a late move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney.
The England international has been linked with a move away from the club all summer with Chelsea, Manchester United and teams from Saudi Arabia interested in securing his services.
Toney is available for transfer after he entered the final year of his contract at the club and the Bees are looking to make money from his sale instead of losing him for free next summer.
Brentford are hoping that interest from both Arsenal and Chelsea will help them drive up Toney’s price before the transfer deadline.
The sale of Nketiah and most likely of Aaron Ramsdale to Southampton will help the Gunners financially to afford a move for Toney.
Arsenal could face competition to sign Ivan Toney
Due to speculation surrounding his future, Toney has not been selected by manager Thomas Frank this season as he waits for the striker to sort out his future.
The report has mentioned that Man United, Tottenham and West Ham United were all interested in signing the England attacker but since they have signed other strikers, their interest has cooled down in Toney.
After selling Nketiah, Arsenal would only have Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus to lead their attack and with the latter facing injury issues on a regular basis, the arrival of Toney at the Emirates Stadium could give Arteta’s team a major boost in the title race.
Edu and Arteta & Co, please get for us Ivan Tony. He is a proven striker in the premier league already. I’m sure we ‘ll not regrate buying him.
Edu and especially Aryeta are a total disgrace.
Tje weakest part of tue squad is tjebattack and they totally gutted it selling ESR, Fabio and Eddie, as well as maybe Nelson also.
Our net spend is around zero for the summer.
We need a proper striker, RW comp for Saka and AM comp for Odegaard.
The squad building balance has been a total disgrace under Arteta 20 out of 26 signings all defensive.
No proper striker, no RW comp.for Saka and no AM comp.for Odegaard.
It’s actually negligence at this point.
This current squad don’t hsve enough.innattacknto win any major trophy.
The owners are parasites constantly sucking money out of the club for many years now.
Where is all the money?
467m record revenue and still nonloney to buy any attacking players.
Havertz has been a historic mistake of a buy. Bought as LCM and fimailed completely. Now makeshift steiner who is not clinical amd does not score against top teams.
Jesus has heen a total flop signing. Regularly goes 8 to 10.games without scoring and 4 to 5 months injured every years.
William flop
Fabio flop.
Arteta is a failure inns gong attacking pmauers amd addressing squad needs.
This is NOT elite management.
KSE OUT and if Arteta not smart enough to raise we need a top.steiker and RW and AM then he leave as well.
With your writing self we knw u don’t have brain
I used to blame Arsene Wenger for recruiting players sometimes in the least priority areas or waiting until the last minute to rush in the last minute to pick scraps. Now I realize it wasn’t Wenger. It is Arsenal’s character. It’s Modus Operandi. Ivan Toney has been around available since Jan and here we’re mulling whether he is good enough for us considering we’re relying on an offensive convert and an injury-prone player. Why sell Biereth who had 14 goals and then retain a player who gave us 5 goals all season? This Arteta/Edu/Arsenal approach is baffling to say the least. We have sorted all areas but the one most dire!!!!!
