No winter transfer: Brentford coach Frank wants Toney “here for a long time”

Contrary to recent speculation, “Bees” striker Ivan Toney (27), who was banned until mid-January due to his violations of betting rules, is not for sale in the current winter transfer window, coach Thomas Frank confirmed. “He’s a Brentford player and he’s here. Obviously we’re missing a few attacking players, so I don’t see why we should sell him. I would love to have it here for a long time and it would have to be an incredible price to sell it. But I assume that he will be here on February 1st, so I’m not worried,” the Dane is quoted by the newspaper “Times“quoted.

In addition to Saman Ghoddos (30) and Yoane Wissa (27), who were assigned to the national team, the coach also has to do without Bryan Mbeumo (24) and ex-Freiburg player Kevin Schade (22) in attack due to injuries. Toney (contract until 2025), who was the London club’s top scorer last season with 24 goals in 33 league games, had increased his market value to 50 million euros by the time he was banned in May, the highest valuation of his career to date – most recently this had been significantly reduced again (for statistics).
