Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham are in a battle to sign Ivan Toney after Mikel Arteta cooled Arsenal’s interest in the Brentford and England striker.
Toney, 28, is expected to leave Brentford this summer regardless of whether the Bees avoid relegation to the Championship.
Thomas Frank’s side have only won seven of their 29 Premier League fixtures this season to sit 15th – five points above the drop zone – with nine games remaining.
Toney missed the first-half of the 2023-24 campaign after being found guilty of 232 breaches of the FA’s betting rules and receiving an eight-month ban.
Since returning to action, the striker has scored four goals in 10 matches but none since mid-February, with Brentford amassing just one point from a possible 18 in that time to drop even closer to the danger zone.
Toney has made no secret of his desire to leave Brentford at some stage and is believed to favour a move to a fellow Premier League club, with London rivals Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham all plotting summer moves.
Arsenal have been repeatedly linked with a move for Toney but The Sun say their interest has cooled in recent weeks as Arteta is unconvinced the forward is the best fit for his side’s system.
