Ivan Toney’s price tag has plummeted ahead of the summer transfer window, it has been claimed.
Back in November various publications, including sky sport news claimed Brentford valued Toney at £100million, amid reported interest from chelsea and Arsenal.
It was said at the time that only a monumental offer would convince the Brentford hierarchy to sell, with reports of a £50million-£60million fee having been met with derision in the club’s boardroom
However, The Sun have now claimed that the England international, who will enter the final 12 months of his contract with the Bees this summer, could be sold for as little as £30-40m
Manchester United and Chelsea are said to be interested while West Ham are another Premier League team said to be monitoring the situation, according to Sky Sports
Meanwhile, The Sun added that Arsenal have ruled out the possibility of buying the striker
Brentford are currently four points below the relegation zone, with manager Thomas Frank having admitted that he expects to lose Toney in the next transfer window
Speaking after Brentford’s 2-0 win over Wolves in February, Toney said: “I’m a Brentford player at the moment, no one can predict the future
“Whatever happens happens, but the main aim is to do well for Brentford, keep them in the league and keep scoring goals and three points
“I feel like he doesn’t want me
The coach said so, but I cannot force the clubs to come pick me up
“I just have to keep doing what I’m doing, which is scoring goals
What happens will happen
» Meanwhile, Frank added: “The reality is he still has a year left on his contract this summer
I think he’s quite open to the idea of playing for a big club in the future
“There are a number of scenarios; he leaves in the summer, he leaves in the winter or he stays until the end
“If he goes – it doesn’t matter, summer, winter or next summer – I think it would be fantastic to see him play for a big club
