Several fans will assume the Kylian Mbappe transfer saga to Real Madrid is the most significant move this January and next summer. However, it looks like another move in the form of Ivan Toney to Arsenal looks to reach its anti-climax. The Gunners fans would love to sign the Brentford forward to bolster their attack. However, Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand cast doubts whether the club can pay a fee of 100 million pounds.

The England international made a return to the field with a goal. Hence, it is no surprise that the fans are interested in the potential future of the in-demand 27-year-old forward.

Manchester United legend unsure about the chances of Ivan Toney going to Arsenal

The return of Ivan Toney was always going to be in the news for all the wrong or right reasons. Luckily for the forward, it was promising news as he returned with a goal as Brentford secured a crucial 3-2 victory against Wolves. Despite his commitment to the Bees, questions remain on the Arsenal links. In a podcast, Rio Ferdinand has given his views. He said, “His goal record in the Premier League has been good. I think Arsenal needs somebody who can occupy the center-back area in the penalty area. So he might suit Arsenal. But has Arsenal got a 100 million? I don’t think Brentford sells for any other price.”

The Manchester United legend also pointed out that Gabriel Jesus would love to play with Ivan Toney on the team.

Brentford’s star striker has also been linked with a move to Arsenal after a brilliant first season in the Premier League.

It will be interesting to see whether Arsenal takes the gamble in January to pay such a huge fee. But, the London club faces several other problems with the potential signing of the Bees forward.

Several media experts have pointed out that Arsenal needs a marquee striker to win plenty of trophies this season. But the potential problem would carry forward to the summer transfer window if they spend big for Toney in January. The Gunners would probably need to sell a surplus of players next summer to comply with FFP. There is also a concern should they delay their move to next summer.

Many prestigious European clubs are willing to allocate their funds to acquire a top-notch striker for the upcoming season. Hence, the Gunners will then face plenty of stiff competition from their rivals for the signature of the Brentford striker.
