Brentford striker Toney could be the subject of a major January transfer battle between Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old will complete an eight-month ban from competitive football on January 16, with several teams lining up to complete a move. Toney has been able to play for Brentford\u2019s B team in an effort to keep fit.<\/p>\n<p>Brentford are desperate to keep their star man and will likely only accept an astronomical figure for a player who bagged 21 goals last season. However, two of the richest top-flight clubs are keen to sign a new No 9.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea and Arsenal are both weak in the position and will target a new striker over the coming months. Toney has reportedly been lined up by both London clubs ahead of a possible January move.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Chelsea swap deal opportunity could be dead in the water &#8216;due to Jose Mourinho[GOSSIP] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Ivan-Toney-Chelsea-Arsenal-5074989.jpg?r=1700473616574\"><\/p>\n<p>But speaking to Give Me Sport, journalist Ben Jacobs claims that Chelsea fear they may miss out on Toney if they need to engage in a tug-of-war with the north Londoners. It is not a \u2018given\u2019 that the Blues will make an offer for the former Newcastle star, despite some figures within the Stamford Bridge hierarchy \u2018liking\u2019 the player at the \u2018right price\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea and Arsenal are both in need of a new centre-forward to push them on. Summer signing Nicolas Jackson has struggled with the burden at Chelsea and needs a more experienced partner.<\/p>\n<p>At Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah have seen inconsistency and injuries obstruct their quest to lead the line of a team properly challenging Manchester City for the Premier League title. Neither have been able to score the goals to propel Mikel Arteta\u2019s side above the reigning champions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea &#8216;may wait until the summer&#8217; as duo impact Pochettino transfer plans[TRANSFERS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd and co &#8216;told to pay more&#8217; as Prem row erupts after Everton punishment[FOOTBALL] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Chelsea star defended as Graeme Souness goes in on Jack Grealish again[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Chelsea-Nicolas-Jackson-5074994.jpg?r=1700473616670\"><\/p>\n<p>However, a \u00a3200m summer spending spree means Arsenal might avoid making another major purchase in January.
