Adebayo Akinfenwa tells Arsenal they’ll win the Premier League if they sign £40m striker on deadline day

Arsenal are going to push to win the Premier League this season.

The Gunners have run Manchester City incredibly close over the past two seasons, and they will want to go one step further this time around.

There’s a school of thought that Arsenal need a striker, and Ivan Toney has been consistently linked with the Gunners.

However, it now looks like Toney will be headed to Saudi Arabia.

Speaking on (30/8/24 12:10PM), Adebayo Akinfenwa has been discussing Toney, and he says that Arsenal will win the league if they sign Toney.

Arsenal would win the league if they sign Ivan Toney

Akinfenwa shared his verdict on Toney and Arsenal.

I think he is that good that if either Arsenal or Chelsea needed a striker, I think he is the difference maker. I think it will get Chelsea top four and I actually do think it would be the difference for Arsenal to push them over to win the league,” Akinfenwa said.

“Surprised they’re not going for him?” Akinfenwa was asked.

“I am very shocked for £40 million for someone who scored 20 odd goals in the Premier League and is an England international. But I am not a manager and I don’t know how it works, but I am shocked. I think he has made his mind up and he will move and if it’s not to the Premier League then it will be to Saudi Arabia,” Akinfenwa replied.

Ivan Toney would be a great signing

There’s no doubt about it, Ivan Toney would be a great signing for Arsenal.

The striker is a proven source of goals at Premier League level, and the Gunners should be all over this one at just £40m.

Unfortunately, it looks as though Arsenal may have missed out here.

Toney is instead set to move to Saudi Arabia, and it has to be said that it’s a massive shame that a player this talented is about to leave the Premier League.
