Arsenal urged to sign Brentford striker instead of Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour has urged the Gunners to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney in the summer. It comes as Mikel Arteta is on the lookout for two strikers at the end of the season.

After an impressive campaign so far, the Spaniard will be keen to add to his squad, with duo Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to leave as free agents. This leaves academy graduate Folarin Balogun as the only natural centre-forward at the club.

Arteta has already spoken out about their need for a goal scorer, saying back in March: "Now is the moment we have to raise the quality. We need one who puts the ball in the net, that's priority number one. Any successful team needs enough goal threat in the squad."
