Brentford Manager Acknowledges Ivan Toney's Potential Departure and Premier League Success

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has acknowledged that Ivan Toney is expected to depart the club this summer, provided a suitable offer is received. Toney, who recently returned from an eight-month ban for betting offences, has made an impressive start to the Premier League season with goals against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur. Frank praised Toney's skills and stated that he would prefer to keep him, but acknowledged the possibility of seeing him at a top team in the future. Despite interest from London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, no offers were received for Toney in the January transfer window. However, Frank believes that there will be significant interest in the striker. Toney himself has expressed his desire to play for a top club and compete with England's primary striker, Harry Kane, in order to break back into the national team. He emphasized the importance of learning from and training with the best in order to achieve his goals. Toney's focus remains on performing well on the pitch while allowing any potential transfer to be handled by the club.
