Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has admitted star striker Ivan Toney will \u2018most likely be sold in the summer\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Toney recently returned from an eight-month ban for a string of betting offences, scoring two goals in three games since resuming action.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old was one of only three players to break the 20-goal barrier in the Premier League last season, joining an exclusive club with Harry Kane (30) and the record-breaking Erling Haaland (36).<\/p>\n
As media attention ramped up ahead of his return last month, Toney \u2013 whose contract expires in 2025 \u2013 admitted\u00a0he would like to play for a \u2018top club\u2019.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Danish media, Frank said the Bees are likely to grant their talisman his wish this summer and that watching Toney play for a bigger team would be \u2018fun\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cIt\u2019s quite obvious that Ivan Toney will most likely be sold in the summer,\u201d Frank said to\u00a0Tipsbladet.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can be expensive to sell your best player, but on the other hand, I also know that by summer, he\u2019ll only have a year left on his contract with us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also know what he\u2019s worth. I don\u2019t think there are many strikers in the world who are better than him right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a really good striker who is in his prime footballing age. Personally, as a coach, I would prefer to keep Toney, but one day it could be fun to see him at a top team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arsenal\u00a0and\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0were both heavily linked with moves for Toney during the January window, with both in need of goal-scoring number nines. However, Frank revealed\u00a0Brentford\u00a0were not contacted over a deal last month.<\/p>\n
