Leeds United are amongst the growing list of Premier League clubs who have registered an interest in Ivan Toney, with TEAMtalk reporting that the Whites have joined the likes of Arsenal and West Ham in the running for the striker.

Toney looks set to become the latest Brentford star to attract big-money bids in the coming months. The 24-year-old has scored 25 goals for the Bees, while he has also provided nine assists.

So it is no surprise that a host of top flight clubs are monitoring his situation. According to TEAMtalk, the likes of Leeds, Arsenal and the Hammers have all asked to be kept informed of developments.

Meanwhile, Leicester City and Wolves are also keen on the former Newcastle man. The report adds that Brentford want £30 million for Toney, who they only signed last summer.

TEAMtalk adds that his current club plan to offer the forward much improved terms should they get across the line in the promotion race.

TBR View: Leeds would produce huge coup winning race for Toney

Toney has scored 65 league goals since the start of the 2018/19 campaign. And what has been so impressive about his form is the improvement he has made each year.

He has already bettered his tally from last season in the same number of games. And that has happened despite Toney moving up a level.

He will surely be playing Premier League football next season – whether that be at Brentford or elsewhere. Given the group of sides monitoring his situation, it seems more than likely that at least one team will be prepared to meet his asking price.

If Leeds are the team to win the race, it could be a huge coup for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
