Thomas Frank has acknowledged the likelihood of Ivan Toney departing Brentford once the summer transfer window commences. Toney, who recently resumed playing after a suspension for violating the Football Association’s betting regulations, has been the subject of transfer speculation, with Arsenal among the clubs reportedly interested.
Since returning to football, Toney has netted two goals in three games, contributing to Brentford’s efforts to avoid relegation concerns. With these recent goals, Toney’s tally stands at 34 goals in 69 Premier League appearances since Brentford’s promotion to the top-flight, equating to an average of just under a goal every two games.
Toney’s consistent goal-scoring performances at the Gtech Community Stadium have once again intensified speculation about his future at the club. Frank acknowledges that retaining him will pose significant challenges for Brentford this summer, especially considering the absence of any bids for him during the winter transfer window.
