According to news from The Sun, Brentford has identified Velez Sarsfield’s Santiago Castro as the replacement for Ivan Toney.
Arsenal needs to strengthen their attack and has identified Brentford’s Ivan Toney as a priority target. The English star has been recognized as one of the top strikers in the Premier League since helping Brentford win promotion to the Premier League.
In May, Toney was banned from all football-related activities for eight months for breaking the rules FA betting. The 27-year-old returned to training with The Bees in September ahead of an expected return in January 2024. That is also the time for teams to approach Brenford. One advantage for the Gunners is that this striker once hinted at the possibility of leaving to take a new step in his career.
He also specified Arsenal as his favorite stop: “I’ve been a Liverpool fan for a long time, but I like Arsenal. I love watching Arsenal and the way they play and the passion of the fans. Even so, I’m a Liverpool fan.”
Good news has come to the Gunners, when The Sun newspaper said Brentford has identified Santiago Castro, a 19-year-old striker from Velez Sarsfield, as Toney’s replacement. They see Castro as the ideal replacement for Toney and are willing to sell their star if they can buy the young Argentine striker.
