Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has urged Arsenal to sign Ivan Toney.
Brentford striker Toney is expected to join a new club this summer, with less than a year to run on his contract.
Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli are showing serious interest but Arsenal are among a contingent of Premier League admirers who could yet swoop if a good-value deal emerges.
“You know who I would go and buy? Ivan Toney,” Richards said on The Rest is Football podcast. “He was left out obviously and there’s talk about him going to Saudi. He might not be ideal for Arsenal‘s style, how they want to press and play, but he’s a different option from off the bench.
“He would give them something different, a different dimension. Especially looking at the numbers, he’s got a year left on his contract and there was talk about him going for only £15million. For a player who was valued at £70m a couple of seasons ago. In terms of what he can offer, I think he would be a good fit.”
