Arsenal has received a recommendation that Ivan Toney would be an ideal addition to their squad ahead of the January transfer window, as Mikel Arteta’s team continues its quest for improvement.
While Arsenal boasts a roster with some of Europe’s top talents and continues to make new signings, there’s a recognised need for a prolific goal-scorer who can consistently deliver around 25-30 goals per season. Despite a strong team effort, the Gunners narrowly missed out on winning the league last season, emphasising the importance of having a lethal striker.
Toney is widely regarded as a striker who could thrive at Arsenal, and Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail suggests that he could be the perfect fit for the club.
He writes in his column:
“Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Havertz — as a false nine — remain crucial to Arsenal’s set-up. But questions linger over whether Arsenal need someone who can score 25 to 30 goals a season.
“It is a deficiency Arteta and Arsenal’s recruitment team are taking very seriously. One name springs to mind: Ivan Toney. A striker Arsenal are coveting, big time.
“It is understood that Toney is coveting Arsenal, too. On the face of it, Toney is a perfect fit for Arsenal. The goals are a clear selling point, but Toney’s character and physicality tick a lot of boxes for Arteta.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Toney has proven over the last few seasons that he is a top player and we certainly need the attacker in our squad to do well.
But can we sign him in January? If we do, we have to offload at least one of our attackers in the next summer transfer window.

Nah, he’s not phase five material
We are still 3 good months or so away from the next January transfer Window.
Us will surely see what Arsenal will do regarding if they’ll sign Brentdord’s Ivan Toney or not when the time comes.
So therefore, let us Gooners try to exercise some patient to wait but not be too much in a hurry wanting to see Arsenal sigh Ivan Toney.
I would rather take a look at Guirassy from Stuttgart. The guy is causing rampage in Bundesliga. Broke all records this season, 13 goals in 7 matches. And no easy tap in goals, those are top striker goals.
Arsenal will not buy another striker with both jesus and Nketiah on the books. Maybe Nketiah plus cash for Toney or Jesus plus cash for Napolis Victor.
Toney is a very good player that arsenal our team need to have if there’s a chance to take him let us take him
I don’t know if we’re really after him, but i do think he’d be a fantastic signing for the second half of the season. He’d give us a strong presence up front, which we do lack at times, and he has the ability to both score and link play very well.
I could see him being that missing piece of the jigsaw to get us over the line if we’re still in the race at the end of the season.
The most pertinent question is, do we really need a 25-30+ goalscorer? If yes then why Toney? When did he achieve that feat?
Not all teams need a player of that calibre. Let me explain!!
Different teams plays different ways or use different tactics. For example Spurs had arguably the most prolific striker, Kane, in EPL history but never won a trophy.
To bring it back home Arsenal’s play is centred around our wingers cutting inside & scoring themselves instead of just putting in a 50/50 cross in the hope of finding your target. This strategy is the reason for them contributing significantly to the goals & make it more difficult to defend against.
I think a lot of fans & pundits alike have fallen into the trap of trying to emulate City but dont consider other factors.
I like Toney a lot but i dont think he is an upgrade to Jesus.
Admin can you pls explain why some of my comments was censored yesterday. I just called out someone who always criticise Arteta to keep his promise to eat his words if we beat City.
I humbly apologise if you consider it abusive. An explanation would help me nt to repeat the same mistake.
