Arsenal could face major competition with Premier League rivals Chelsea and Tottenham also watching developments while Manchester United have been keen admirers in the past
Mikel Arteta will make Ivan Toney his No.1 January target to convince him to join Arsenal ahead of potential rivals.
Gunners boss Arteta views Brentford striker Toney as a huge chance to bolster his squad in the next transfer window. But they could face major competition with Premier League rivals Chelsea and Tottenham also watching developments while Manchester United have been keen admirers in the past.
However, Arteta was able to convince Declan Rice to move to the Emirates ahead of other big clubs and the England midfielder was not remotely tempted when Bayern Munich and Manchester City showed an interest.
Arteta will hope that Arsenal’s ambition and vision will be key in trying to do a deal for Toney, who looks set to leave Brentford in January.
