North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are set to go head-to-head in the January transfer window as both clubs target Brentford's prolific striker Ivan Toney.
The Gunners are reportedly keen to strengthen their attacking options, with manager Mikel Arteta identifying the England international as a potential solution to their goalscoring concerns. Meanwhile, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is also monitoring the situation as he looks to add firepower to his squad.
Toney's Impressive Form
The 27-year-old forward has been in sensational form since returning from his betting ban, netting crucial goals for Thomas Frank's side. His physical presence and clinical finishing have made him one of the most sought-after strikers in the Premier League.
Brentford's Stance
Brentford are understood to be reluctant to sell their star man mid-season, especially as they battle to maintain their Premier League status. However, a substantial offer in the region of £60-80 million could tempt the Bees into negotiations.
London Derby Transfer Battle
This potential transfer tussle adds another layer to the fierce rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham. Both clubs are looking to strengthen their squads as they chase Champions League qualification and potential title challenges.
The January window could prove pivotal in the race for Toney's signature, with the striker himself reportedly open to a move that would see him compete at the highest level of European football.
