Brentford could be interested in Eddie Nketiah as part of Ivan Toney deal (reliability: 3 stars)

Brentford inquired about Eddie Nketiah's availability, expressing a long-standing interest in the Arsenal academy product, according to TEAMtalk.

The Bees could use Arsenal's desire to sign Ivan Toney in the January transfer window to land 24-year-old ahead of the second part of the season.

Mikel Arteta, however, is keen on retaining the current squad and avoiding player departures as the Gunners look to push for the Premier League title.

Toney, meanwhile, remains Arsenal's priority attacking target with his eight-month FA-issued gambling ban set to officially expire on January 16, 2024.
