Though the two have never had any sort of bust-up in person, it is fair to say Arteta did not take kindly to some of Toney's social media activity. At the start of the 2021/22 season, after Brentford's opening night victory over Arsenal, Toney took to Twitter to write: "Nice kick about with the boys."
