Arsenal told to sign 20-goal star to rival Erling Haaland at Man City closing Premier League gap

Arsenal have been urged to make a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney this summer by former forward Jeremie Aliadiere. The 27-year-old has impressed in his second season in the Premier League, hitting the 20-goal mark for the Bees, guiding them to mid-table with ease, despite their lack of resources.

His manager, Thomas Frank, believes that Toney would score far more than 20 for a "big six" side if he were to make a move. "Of course not," the Dane responded when asked if he would swap his striker for Manchester City star Erling Haaland after his outstanding debut season in the league.

“If Ivan was playing in a top-four club, he would score 25-plus goals. I’m convinced about that. I’m very happy he is playing for us and not another club and I think it is remarkable what he has done.”
