Ivan Toney has claimed he can’t wait to deliver for Brentford as he is set for competitive action for the club despite transfer interest from Chelsea and Arsenal.
The England striker was banned by the Football Association for breaking gambling regulations, and he hasn’t played yet this season.
Toney is eligible to play in the Bees’ upcoming crucial Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, four days after his ban comes to an end on January 16.
However, the Bees’ timing isn’t great because Toney is wanted and the winter transfer window is a clear distraction.
Goal-shy Arsenal and Chelsea have been strongly linked to him since his 20 Premier League goals from the previous season. Especially considering that his contract expires in 2025.
According to talkSPORT, Toney seems willing to stay and help Brentford avoid a relegation scrap, though, as the team is having a terrible season scoring goals.
What Did Toney Say About His Future?
Speaking to Sky Sports, the 27-year-old said: “Thomas Frank has been nothing but the biggest help I could have asked for. The whole club has.
“From putting extra sessions on for me, from taking their time out to put a session on, to go outside when it’s raining, when they’re not even supposed to be in, all these kinds of things.
“I have a lot to be paying them and I can’t wait to try and do that.
“Everybody’s been supportive. The club that was right behind me from the first bit, and the fans were behind me as well, which was a massive part.
“Even when I’m not at games, they’re singing my name and I’ll get loads of messages on social media.”

With five straight losses, Brentford have the worst form in the division. And are currently having their worst Premier League run.
Due to injuries and other problems, they are getting closer to the bottom three, so it’s critical that Toney gets back.
