Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham are all waiting at the doors of Brentford to sign Ivan Toney as the latter prepares to return to action with the Bees in January 2024.

Toney was Thomas Frank and Brentford's main man. He struck 12 times in 2021/21 season with 5 assists in 33 appearances.

Last season, Ivan Toney nearly doubled the goal tally for the Bees in same number of Premier League matches. He nailed home 20 goals with 4 assists before being slammed with the ban that temporarily freeze his career.

Before the ban, Toney was still a top transfer target for top Premier League clubs. Despite being exiled from the game for 8 months, the England star is still a top-selling asset for the Bees with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham in a tight race for the player.

The Sun reports Tottenham are lining up a move for Ivan Toney as a replacement for their legendary forward Harry Kane who left the club for Bayern Munich in the summer.

Tottenham are yet to sign a replacement for Harry Kane since losing the England all-time topscorer to the Bavarians hence they are hoping to beat the competition to land Toney.

Sources close to the club reveal they are lining up a bid for the player despite denials they are not interested in the move.

Arsenal are also interested in Toney as the club lack a frontline attacker and forward for a top 9 role. Arsenal have been relying on their attacking midfielders to fetch in the goals but now want a traditional striker to headline the club's attack.

Chelsea are also strongly in the race for Toney as they consider him a good deal to sharpen the club's attack as Nicolas Jackson seemed to have delivered below expectations.

Ivan Toney is known for his pace, strength, creativity, and brilliant finishing skills. He has two years remaining on his Brentford contract but is ready to leave for a new challenge.

Brentford have already slammed a £100m price tag on his head and are ready to part ways with the striker in the event of a suitable offer.
