<\/p>\n

Ivan Toney is prepared to leave Brentford as soon as January as he bids to mark his return to action with a bang this winter. The Brentford frontman, who returned to team training on Monday for the first time since being banned from all football-related activity in May after breaching FA betting regulations, sat down with Bees boss Thomas Frank to discuss his future in west London at the start of the week.<\/p>\n

Despite his commitment to Brentford, Toney is understood to have respectfully outlined his desire to make the next step in his career and the Bees are willing to comply – providing their \u00a360million valuation is met.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are circling and the 27-year-old, who turns 28 in March, is due to enter the final 18 months of his current deal in January.<\/p>\n

The underwhelming Blues are living to rue their failure to sign a new marquee striker for Mauricio Pochettino this summer and that is likely to be rectified in the winter market.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Arsenal are long-term admirers of Toney and Spurs are yet to sign a like-for-like replacement for Harry Kane following his big-money transfer to Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Toney’s ban has emphasised that time is precious in football and now the Brentford talisman is ready to actively explore an exit after recently signing with Jonathan Barnett’s world-renowned agency CAA Stellar, stating: \u201cIt feels like a fresh beginning. Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brentford’s scouts are already working on preparing a shortlist of potential replacements for Toney in anticipation for his departure.<\/p>\n

When quizzed on whether he expects offers for Toney to land on Brentford’s doorstep in January, Frank told Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football: “Yeah. I’m just focusing on Brentford.<\/p>\n

“I had a long meeting with him, it was so good to have him back in. We presented him with the plan and we’re just trying to create Ivan Toney 2.0 – the beast.”<\/p>\n

He later added on his centre-forward: \u201cFor me he\u2019s one of the best strikers, as a striker No.9, I don\u2019t see many out there who is better in the world than him, of course you have [Harry] Kane, [Robert] Lewandowski, [Erling] Haaland and these types, but not many.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe scored 20 goals in the Premier League last year, in, of course, a very good Brentford side but of course we are not creating as many chances as the top six or seven teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo imagine him in a top team, he\u2019d easily score 20, 25 goals, for me. I think he\u2019s composed, he\u2019s a good finisher, top mentality, so I understand why clubs are looking at him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brentford were prepared to go big on the signing of a new marquee forward this summer but failed with club-record proposals for Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson, Nicolas Gonzalez of Fiorentina and PSV’s Johan Bakayoko.<\/p>\n

Both Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have made fine starts to the season – offering hope that life after Toney at Brentford might not be as bleak as initially envisaged.<\/p>\n

Neal Maupay was brought back to the club on loan from Everton on transfer deadline day but the Frenchman is regarded as a temporary solution for Bees boss Frank.<\/p>\n

Club scouts are now working on identifying a long-term replacement for Toney, who hit 20 Premier League goals last season in west London.<\/p>\n
