Arsenal and Chelsea fans genuinely can't believe the price tag Brentford have slapped on Ivan Toney

Fans genuinely can't believe how much Brentford want for Ivan Toney amid reports linking him with a stunning move to Arsenal and Chelsea.

Toney is currently serving a ban for breaching FA betting rules, but he finishes his sanction on January 16.

Last month, he found the back of the net in a behind closed doors friendly.

He's free to return to competition in the middle of the January transfer window, intensifying speculation that he could leave Brentford for a bigger club.

Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on the 27-year-old ahead of the transfer window reopening.

And it appears he'll command a hefty transfer fee as widespread reports claim The Bees want a whopping £100 million for their prized asset.

Toney's price tag shocked people on social media as they made their feelings clear.

One X user wrote: "How is Ivan Toney worth £100 million? Might as well put DCL up for £200 million."

A second tweeted: "Football has gone mad how Brentford valued Ivan Toney for £100m?"

A Chelsea supporter added: "If Ivan Toney is going for 100 million we might as well just go for Osihmen at this point."

A fourth said: "Ok he’s a good player but Brentford value Ivan Toney at 100 million…. Just wow."

An Arsenal fan commented: "100 million for Ivan Toney is a joke it's better we go for Osimehen or Sesko."

Brentford fully intend to keep Toney at least until the end of the season.

Thomas Frank has previously talked up a £100 million price tag. In the summer, he said: "£100m plus?... What would you pay for a striker that guarantees you 20-plus goals? And this is 20 goals for a mid-table club. What can he do in a bigger club."

The one-capped England player has been at Brentford since 2020 following his switch from Peterborough United.

He scored an impressive 31 goals in the 2020/21 Championship campaign as he inspired his side to promotion to the Premier League.

He netted 12 top flight goals in the 2021/22 term and bagged a superb 20 league goals last season.
