Ivan Toney's potential destinations - ranked

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has revealed Ivan Toney is heading for the exit door.

«It's quite obvious that Ivan Toney will most likely be sold in the summer,» Frank told Danish outlet Tipsbladet.

«It can be expensive to sell your best player, but on the other hand, I also know that by summer, he'll only have a year left on his contract with us.

»We also know what he's worth. I don't think there are many strikers in the world who are better than him right now.

«He's a really good striker who is in his prime footballing age. Personally, as a coach, I would prefer to keep Toney, but one day it could be fun to see him at a top team.»

Toney himself has been open with his aim to play for a 'top club', while he has also name-dropped two Premier League sides as potential suitors in the past.

But where should Toney go? Who should move for him? Where would he be best suited? Let's break down the options...

At the time of writing — a timestamp and disclaimer sorely needed because you never know when these lot are going to wake up on the wrong side of the bed — Manchester United have found some form and look like a coherent football team.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund, signed for £72m last summer, has more than played his part in the Red Devils' latest renaissance. United need another experienced striker, but it doesn't make sense for them to break the bank again for one as good as Toney.

The United boat probably came and went for Toney last summer upon receiving his eight-month ban from football. He would have fit that vision of Erik ten Hag's team like a glove.
