Ivan Toney has attracted the attention of both Arsenal and Chelsea, and Thomas Frank insists Brentford will be prepared in the event of his January transfer. Toney is currently serving an eight-month ban for breaching the Football Association’s betting rules, and if he is sold, Arsenal and Chelsea are both keen to take advantage, with reports claiming the former are preparing to submit a bid.
Brentford are reportedly demanding at least £80 million for Toney, who notched 20 Premier League goals last season. Thomas Frank is not ruling out the possibility of Toney leaving the team before the end of the season, and when asked what he expects to happen in the next transfer window, he replied, “In January? I don’t know. The only thing I’m focusing on is the game tomorrow.”
Frank further explained, “We are preparing for transfer windows ahead. Of course, we are not only looking not only at striker options or full-back, we are prepared for any position if something should happen. I think it’s also fair to say that if we wanted a striker in the summer we could’ve tried to get one, we got one in Neal [Maupay], so, yeah, let’s see.”
It remains to be seen whether Ivan Toney will remain at Brentford for the rest of the season, or if he will be the subject of a January transfer. Despite the speculation, Thomas Frank is staying focused on the upcoming game and is making preparations for any potential transfer. It's clear that Brentford are open to the possibility of losing their star striker, and are doing all they can to be prepared for the future.
