Chris Sutton has urged Arsenal to sign Dominic Solanke over Ivan Toney. The Gunners have been linked with both strikers but Sutton believes Solanke is more complete.
He said: “How can you be certain Ivan Toney would come in and hit the ground running, he hasn’t played. Ivan Toney has proven himself as a really accomplished striker, but if Arsenal sign him, that doesn’t guarantee they will win the league.
“Solanke, Dominic Solanke, at this moment in time, I think he’s a brilliant all-round striker, at this moment in time if I had to pick Solanke or Toney, I would pick Solanke just because he’s in a bit of rhythm, he leads the line, and you don’t know what you will get from Toney, that’s too much of a risk at this moment in time.”
Toney hasn’t kicked a ball in a professional capacity in eight months due to suspension over betting breaches. He will return to action this month.
Meanwhile, Solanke has scored 12 Premier League goals (13 across all competitions) this season and looks more likely to hit the ground running.
