USMNT star Josh Sargent to replace Ivan Toney? Brentford become first Premier League club to express interest in 11-goal Norwich striker

The Bees are aware that England international Toney is likely to be on the move in the summer transfer window. Having proved his worth at the very highest level, the 27-year-old has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/arsenal-ivan-toney-transfer-paul-merson-brentford-striker-perfect-gabriel-jesus/bltc0a696e2a05666ec" target="_blank">linked with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Toney will bring in a big fee, but Brentford are not the kind of club to splash out on a replacement. Instead, Alan Nixon reports on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/brentford-target-99614711 " target="_blank">Patreon</a> that they will seek to find value for money in any Toney cover. Sargent is considered to fit that mould.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

He will not come cheap, though, after committing to a new five-year contract at Norwich. He has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-josh-sargent-explains-why-full-of-goals-simple-explanation-purple-patch-premier-league-promotion-hopefuls-norwich/blt4b8307df1d3c388f" target="_blank">hit 11 goals for the Canaries this season</a>, including a run of seven efforts in his last eight games, and is expected to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/well-rounded-usmnt-star-josh-sargent-tipped-attract-real-interest-transfer-window-personal-best-goal/blt2402bc990eed30c7" target="_blank">attract plenty of admiring glances over the coming weeks</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Norwich may yet <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-josh-sargent-best-player-billing-premier-league-promotion-push-purple-patch-norwich/bltfa098506ae054a83" target="_blank">force their way into the Championship play-offs</a>, which would offer them a shot at returning to the Premier League, but Sargent could be heading in that direction regardless – with Brentford unlikely to be the last top-flight outfit to mull over a move for the proven goalscorer.
