Teddy Sheringham believes Brentford striker Ivan Toney should be of interest to Chelsea and Arsenal.
Chelsea have Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson to lead the line, while Arsenal rely on Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz for goals.
Sheringham thinks Toney would be ideal as an out-and-out striker, and dismissed the idea that he should entertain a move to the Saudi Pro League at his relatively young age.
He told Prime Casino : "At Ivan Toney’s age - he’s 28-years-old - he absolutely shouldn’t be thinking about a move to Saudi. That’s an attractive option for him at the end of his career - he would be wasted playing over there in his prime.
“I would tell Toney, don’t worry about the wages being offered, you’ll get those opportunities later, stay in the Premier League and score goals in the best division in the world.
“I'm very surprised that he hasn't gone anywhere yet. I think he would be the perfect fit for so many clubs in the Premier League. Before Tottenham signed Solanke, I was hoping that we were looking at him.
“I’ve said this before, I don’t want him to sign for Arsenal, because they’ve got a lot of good players already, but he would be perfect for them. I think he would be perfect for Chelsea too, even with all the problems in West London.
“He’s an old-school centre forward that causes defences so many problems. Scoring goals is the most difficult job in football, and he’s got proven pedigree when it comes to hitting the back of the net.
“The window closes on Friday. Maybe some Premier League clubs are waiting to see if they can pinch him on a reduced fee, but I’d be amazed if he was still at Brentford when the window closes.”
