Brentford striker, Ivan Toney has spoken about his admiration for Arsenal as speculation continues to surround his future at the G-Tech Community stadium.
The English forward is presently serving an eight-month sentence for breaking FA betting rules. He has recently been touted with a move to Chelsea.
In addition, Toney received a £50,000 punishment for his behavior after admitting to 232 infractions, 30 of which the FA withdrew.
According to Football London, the 27-year-old discussed his future at the London-based club and acknowledged his desire to play for an elite team in the future.
Speaking about rumours regarding a transfer, Toney said: “I don’t let this all affect me. Obviously, it will go on in the background. But my job is to keep training well when I get the chance.
“In the games, keep scoring and doing well. But I think that everybody wants to play at the top of the tree.
“Not that Brentford aren’t there, but I feel like playing for a big club. Fighting for trophies, these kinds of things, everybody wants to do. If the chance was to come along, I think I would be silly not to look more into it.”
When the prolific center-forward was asked about his allegiance to Liverpool, he mentioned his love for the Merseyside team. While simultaneously mentioning his admiration for Arsenal.
