Brentford value Ivan Toney at £100m; They fully intend to keep him at least until the end of the season; However, the England striker is on the radar of most top clubs in Europe; Chelsea and Arsenal interested; Toney finishes his eight-month ban for betting offences on January 16
On the one hand, English+homegrown status will raise the price, decent strikers are also in demand and he’s still young-ish.
That being said, 100m might be a bit much. He’s probably at his development peak, will have been out of action for 6 months in January and the gambling connections aren’t great for the image of any club.
60-65m are definitely possible, maybe even as high as 70-75 with addons. I can’t see any club outside of the PL paying anywhere close to that given that homegrown status which is a good chunk of that price is irrelevant outside the PL.
