Arsenal handed massive blow in hunt for Ivan Toney as Thomas Frank reveals what it will take to sign Brentford striker

The Gunners are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-sign-80m-brentford-ivan-toney-january/blt30ec081e15e09579#cs864b67db56d2d155" target="_blank">determined to sign the striker this month</a> to help boost their chances of winning the Premier League. However, it has been reported that they will have to pay around £80 million ($102m) to convince Brentford to let him leave, but Frank is confident Toney will stay.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Asked if he thinks Toney will stay beyond January, Toney said: "The very short answer is yes. He is a Brentford player, he is here, we miss a few offensive players, and I cannot see why we should sell him. I would love to have him here for a long time. It is not for me to discuss [an offer], but if I could ever recommend one, it would need to be an unbelievable price, so he will stay here."

WHAT THOMAS FRANK SAID

Toney has been suspended from football since May after admitting to breaching betting rules. He will be able to return to action later this month, however, and Brentford are understandably eager to hold onto the one-time England international given he has scored 68 goals in 124 performances for the club.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 27-year-old will soon return to action this month but it remains to be seen if he will line up for Brentford or Arsenal as the Gunners continue to push for his signature before the end of the transfer window.
