Brentford's Ivan Toney's agent, Alan Pardew, wants him to join Arsenal.

It seems that Arsenal have their sights set on Ivan Toney, the talented attacker from Brentford who is looking for a new team. According to former Newcastle manager Alan Pardew, Toney's agent is hoping for a move to Arsenal this summer. The 28-year-old English player has been the subject of transfer rumors for months and was even left out of Brentford's first game in the Premier League against Crystal Palace.

There have been discussions with Al-Ahli, a team from the Saudi Pro League, about potentially signing Toney before the transfer deadline. However, they have not been able to meet Brentford's asking price of £60 million. Other teams such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have also shown interest in Toney, but it seems that the high price tag has deterred them from making a bid.

Toney himself has expressed his desire to play for a top club in the future and it seems that his agent shares the same sentiment. Pardew, who spoke on talkSPORT, revealed that he had a conversation with Toney's representative about possible transfer options. "I know Toney's agent personally and I think he would like the boy to go to Arsenal," Pardew said. "There you go, there's a bit of insight. I know that he thought that might be a good fit for the boy when I had a discussion."

While Pardew believes that Manchester United could also be a good fit for Toney, he thinks that the club with the best potential to sign him is Arsenal. "I think of all the top clubs, the one that stands out for me is Manchester United," Pardew shared. "They have the financial means and the need for a proven goalscorer with experience. That could be the perfect destination for Toney."

Regardless of where he ends up, Pardew is confident that Toney will be a great addition to any team. "The thing I like about Ivan Toney is that he makes a statement on the pitch when he plays," Pardew said. "He's physical, aggressive, and constantly running down the sides. He's a difficult player to defend against and I think he would be a great signing for any team."
