Ivan Toney, the talented Brentford striker, has been making waves in the football world with his impressive performances on the pitch. It's no surprise that he has caught the eye of several teams, with Manchester United being the latest club to show interest in the player. Rumors have been circulating that the Red Devils are planning to make a bid for Toney on the final day of the summer transfer window.
It seems that United have been eyeing Toney for quite some time now and are considering a deal that would allow them to bring him in on loan initially, with an obligation to buy him later. However, they are not the only ones vying for his signature. Chelsea is also reportedly interested in a similar deal, which has added a sense of urgency to the situation.
Apart from domestic interest, there are also overseas teams looking to secure Toney's services. Sky Sports sources have revealed that Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli has approached Brentford, but nothing has been agreed upon yet. It's also been reported that Dutch team Ajax is keeping a close eye on the situation and might make a last-minute bid on the deadline day.
The Brentford manager, Thomas Frank, has confirmed that Toney's departure is almost inevitable, with many top clubs vying for him. He praised the striker's abilities and acknowledged that it's only a matter of time before he leaves the club. Toney's impressive goal-scoring record in the Premier League last season, with 20 goals in 33 games, has made him a hot commodity in the market.
The 28-year-old has also been in the news for his unique no-look penalty technique and his selection for the England squad for Euro 2024. He has earned six international caps and has been praised by former England striker Ellen White. She believes that if Brentford manages to sell Toney and stay in the Premier League, it would be a win-win situation for the club.
As the transfer window deadline approaches, the situation surrounding Toney's future remains uncertain. While there are no formal approaches planned yet, anything can change in the fast-paced world of football. One thing is for sure, whoever manages to secure the services of Ivan Toney, will have a top-quality player on their hands.
