Agents for Brentford striker Toney in Arsenal contact

Agents for Brentford striker Ivan Toney are in contact with Arsenal.

Currently serving a betting ban to January, Toney will seek to leave the Bees when the market reopens over the New Year.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting: "He wants to move to a top club. We know the situation is very open.

"He is taking into consideration many opportunities, including Arsenal. Arsenal are really interested in Ivan Toney. They are informed on the conditions of the deal.

"They already had some contact to ask about the potential conditions of the deal, like how much would it cost in January, how much would it cost in the summer. Arsenal are informed."

The Bees are said to rate Toney in the £60m class.
