Arsenal have been advised to seal the transfer of Brentford striker Ivan Toney this summer as he’d add 25 goals a season to their team, according to Paul Scholes.
Former Manchester United midfielder Scholes is clearly a big fan of Toney, suggesting that the England international would surely score that number of goals for basically any Premier League club.
Arsenal didn’t exactly struggle in front of goal last season as the likes of Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard shared the scoring burden out quite evenly, but there’s surely a case to be made for Mikel Arteta bringing in more of an out-and-out goal-scorer to help his side get over the line in the title race.
Arsenal came so close to ending their twenty-year wait to win the league last season, with Manchester City only pipping them on the final day, and one has to wonder if they could have gone all the way if they’d had a more clinical finisher in that difficult period they had before the winter break.
