Brentford have reportedly identified a replacement for Ivan Toney in Toulouse striker Thijs Dallinga, with Arsenal and Tottenham interested in the Bees star.

According to TeamTalk, the west London side are interested in signing the 23-year-old forward, with AFC Bournemouth and Crystal Palace also interested in the Dutch attacker.

Scoring twice against Liverpool this season in the UEFA Europa League, Dallinga is regarded as one of the most exciting attacking prospects in Ligue 1.

And the youngster could now be heading to Brentford as a replacement for Toney, with Arsenal and Tottenham both linked with a move for the £100m-rated England international.

The forward is strongly tipped to leave Brentford this January as both north London clubs look to add an attacker to their ranks to fuel their Premier League title hopes.

And Brentford’s interest in Dallinga could now be a big hint that Toney is actually on the move, potentially putting Arsenal and Tottenham on alert.

Brentford signing Dallinga opens the door for Arsenal & Tottenham to sign Toney

Brentford are one of the smartest clubs in the Premier League when it comes to making signings, with Thomas Frank’s side always one step ahead of their rivals in the market.

And targeting Dallinga could hint that Toney is out of the door in January, with Arsenal and Tottenham both interested in signing the forward in the new year.

The future of Toney is going to be an interesting one to follow in the winter window, and a move for Dallinga from Brentford strongly hints that something might be cooking behind the scenes.
