According to ESPN, Arsenal are no longer expected to sign Ivan Toney this month despite desperately needing a striker.
Brentford are demanding over £80 million for Toney, leaving Arsenal baulking at their price tag.
The Gunners value Toney more modestly and do not believe he's worth an eye-watering amount of money.
As a result of the potential transfer being 'too expensive', Arsenal are now backing out from the deal entirely.
That leaves our arch-rivals Chelsea a clear path to potentially signing the English striker.
ESPN adds Arsenal are looking at other options in the market but there is decreasing optimism over signing anybody.
