Arsenal monitoring the progress of Brentford striker Ivan Toney

Arsenal are monitoring the progress of Brentford striker Ivan Toney, a report from The Express claims.

The 24-year-old joined the Bees from Peterborough United last summer after bagging 26 goals in the 2019/2020 League One season.

He has proved the perfect replacement for Ollie Watkins, who left for Aston Villa and has already registered 16 goals from 22 Championship appearances.

Hence, he has caught the eye of some top clubs and it is reported that he has left a good impression on Gunners scouts with his performances.

While the Gunners are not looking to sign a striker this month, it is suggested that they could look for one in the future with the uncertainty over Alexandre Lacazette’s future.
