Arsenal advised to take a chance on this Chelsea target

Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher has tipped Arsenal to make a move to sign Ivan Toney.

So far this season, Toney has been linked with moves to top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea.

The Blues and the Gunners are in need of new strikers, and with reports suggesting Toney may leave Brentford during the January transfer window, the two clubs may make a move.

Toney was suspended for the first half of this season and is expected to return to action in the second half of the season.

Amid the different clubs interested in signing him, Carragher has advised Arsenal to take a chance on Toney.

He said via the Daily Mail: ‘Yes, he could [join Arsenal] and he is a different type of striker.

‘Huge fan of his but making jump to a big club and can you not cope with the scrutiny, there’s not that expectation against Brentford.

‘No doubt that the quality is there, but take Arsenal to title? Arsenal might need to take that chance if they don’t fix that position and the goalkeeper situation then difficult to overhaul Man City.’
