Arsenal has been forewarned by Martin Keown about the possible drawbacks of acquiring Ivan Toney from Brentford in January.
continues to keep him off the pitch, but the England international will be eligible to return to competitive action in 2024.
Keown, an Arsenal veteran, claims that Toney can play the position Erling Haaland plays for Manchester City, but it would not be ideal for the Gunners as the Norwegian's sole responsibility is to score a ton of goals and is seldom ever engaged in the game in its entirety.: "Once Man City secured the midfield with De Bruyne, Gundogan and Rodri they then went OK let’s bring that striker in. It’s whether or not Arsenal are ready for that.
"It’s about where the team is but I get it. Ivan Toney is a prolific goalscorer although a lot of them would’ve been penalties. Now they’re looking at Brentford can they deal without him? They realise a huge offer is coming in for him and Arsenal would probably be at the top of the list," he added."But it’s about the structure of the team and whether they’re ready for that.
