Arsenal make contact with agent of Premier League striker

Arsenal have made contact with the representative of Brentford striker Ivan Toney ahead of a potential transfer next month.

The Gunners are currently top of the league standings with 40 points, just one ahead of Liverpool whom they drew with yesterday.

The north London side still have plenty of room for improvement and in our view, they should bolster the squad this winter.

A centre-forward should be the top priority for the club and reports claim that the Gunners have engaged in talks with Toney's agent.

The striker is said to be convinced over a winter move to the Gunners, but the big question mark is whether they will pay the fee.

Toney won't be allowed to leave for anything less than £60 million up front with a further £20 million in the form of add-ons.

With Financial Fair Play concerns, the Gunners could be reluctant to make such a huge outlay on him in the upcoming window.
