In the upcoming January transfer window, former Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has advised his old club to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford. Parlour believes that the talented English striker would be a valuable addition to Mikel Arteta’s team.
During an interview with talkSPORT, Parlour emphasized the importance of having top-quality strikers for successful teams. He stated, “I do believe that is the position that Arsenal needs to strengthen, but it ultimately depends on player availability and financial negotiations to ensure it’s the right deal for Arsenal.”
Parlour also praised the work of Edu Gaspar, Arsenal’s technical director, in terms of recruitment so far and endorsed Ivan Toney as a good option for the club. He expressed, “Ivan Toney would be a great acquisition. Let’s wait and see how things develop.”
Parlour concluded by emphasizing the team’s need to accumulate points and maintain focus in preparation for the January transfer window.
Ivan Toney has been linked with potential transfers to both Arsenal and Chelsea in the upcoming window.
