Brentford intend to keep Ivan Toney until the end of the season, and they’d want £100m to sell him, according to a report.

Sky Sports report that Brentford value Ivan Toney at £100m, and they intend to keep him at least until the end of the season.

Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly keen on the striker, but Brentford don’t want to sell.

The club have reportedly responded derisively to claims that £50-60m would be enough to let the player go, and a £100m valuation would certainly make the transfer less appealing to Arsenal.

Multiple outlets have previously reported that Toney is keen on a move to Arsenal in January, when his suspension from football is up.

There have been conflicting reports over whether the Gunners are actually in for him, with some claiming that Toney is pushing the move himself through his agent.

But it may not matter either way, if Brentford’s asking price is so high that Arsenal can’t afford it even if they want to.

Toney is currently suspended from football due to breaching FA rules on gambling, but he’s back in training, and he’ll be able to play again in January.

The player is reportedly keen to leave Brentford, and Arsenal reportedly would almost certainly have made a bid over the summer if Toney hadn’t been banned.

Toney switched agency to join CAA Stellar Group earlier this year, in another sign that he’s chasing a transfer.

Toney scored 20 goals in 33 Premier League games for Brentford last season, before his ban.
