Ivan Toney, the highly coveted striker of Brentford, seems poised for an imminent departure from the club, as discussions regarding a contract extension have not yet commenced despite having 18 months remaining on his current deal. Notably, Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly expressing interest in securing the services of this talented striker, intensifying the competition for his signature.
The Mirror indicates that Brentford is recognizing the potential loss of Toney, particularly due to the lack of progress in contractual talks. Toney, who recently returned after a prolonged gambling suspension, had previously inked a similar deal four years ago upon joining from Peterborough. Although the club is eager to retain him this month, there is a prevailing sentiment that they might be willing to entertain offers for his departure.
In another development in the transfer landscape, Bayern Munich is reportedly considering a move for Eric Dier, the versatile player from Tottenham, during the ongoing January transfer window. The German powerhouse is keen on recruiting Dier to reinforce their squad.
Moving on to Crystal Palace and various other Premier League clubs, they have expressed interest in securing the services of Ben Krauhaus, the promising midfielder from Bromley. This burgeoning talent has attracted attention from top-flight clubs, setting the stage for a potential transfer scenario in the current window.
Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers are exploring the possibility of offloading Jonny Otto, with indications that a reasonable fee could facilitate his departure. The club is reportedly open to negotiations, suggesting that a move for the player might materialize during the current transfer window.
