Mikel Arteta is yet to welcome any new faces to his squad this month but will be hoping for the stars to align over the coming days. Arsenal are in desperate need of more firepower and have been tipped to strengthen their attacking ranks before the end of this month. However, it seems clear that Arsenal will need to loosen their purse strings if they are serious about landing the forward, who is likely to command a nine-figure fee. Brentford boss Thomas Frank has already insisted that it will take an 'unbelievable price' for the Bees to consider selling Toney, which suggests that Arsenal may end up moving onto other targets. Reports in Germany have suggested that Arsenal could rival Manchester United in the race to land the 20-year-old, who is currently represented by the son of former Gunners co-owner David Dein.
