Just now, due to Gabriel Jesus’s recent injury concerns and Eddie Nketiah’s departure, Arsenal is preparing a dramatic deadline-day £50 million bid for Brentford’s striker Ivan Toney.
Arsenal plans a £50 million project. Ivan Toney bid to tee up dramatic deadline day battle with Chelsea
In an attempt to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney before Chelsea does, Arsenal are getting ready to make an offer, as TEAMtalk can exclusively disclose.
Mikel Arteta is keen to bring in a new striker to replace Eddie Nketiah, whose £30m move to Crystal Palace is set to be officially announced very soon.
Toney has been heavily linked with Arsenal throughout the summer but up until today, they had not made any concrete movements towards signing him.

The favourites to sign the England international were Chelsea up until just a couple of hours ago. As we exclusively revealed, Chelsea are planning to launch a bid of £50m for Toney IF they miss out on top striker target Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea remain in talks with Napoli for Osimhen and the Italian club expects him to leave. However, the Blues face serious competition from Saudi club Al-Ahli for his signature.
Sources have informed TEAMtalk that Chelsea WILL sign a new striker before the transfer window slams shut and they ‘expect it to be Toney or Osimhen.’
