PREMIER - Arsenal urged to sign "bullying" striker from Brentford

Darren Bent has urged Arsenal to make a move to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford, claiming he would be a great fit for their side.

The former Tottenham striker has previously admitted that the Gunners were his boyhood club, and is regularly asked his opinion on the direction of the club, and today was no different.

With Arsenal currently being linked with the likes of Ollie Watkins and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Bent has claimed that we should be looking at Ivan Toney also, with the striker proving to be a nuisance to some top defenders during his short time in the English top division.

“Could they lure him away from Brentford? Well, of course,” Bent told TalkSPORT listeners(via Football.London) when discussing a potential move for Toney. “Yes (he would be a good fit for Arsenal). It’s early days.

“But what he has shown so far at Brentford, he is the real deal, not in terms of his goal return, just the way he is bullying people and he never shies away from a challenge.

“I think he is definitely destined for big things.”
