Brentford boss Thomas Frank has warned suitors off Ivan Toney.

Arsenal are among major clubs targeting Toney as his betting suspension comes to an end.

But Frank said: As far as I know Ivan is a Brentford player. I want to keep him and I'm looking forward to him playing with us."

Asked if he was desperate to keep hold of Toney, Frank continued: I really would like to. I'm a head coach.

Desperate is a big word. I want to have my best players with me at all times. From my perspective, I don't want to sell him.

That's because I think he's fantastic. I'm enjoying him every day.

Having him back will be like signing an unbelievably good Premier League striker. He's looking forward to finally contributing to the team.

I see the same determination and willpower from him to want to train well and be ready to play.

"Maybe a tiny bit more in terms of a comeback and wanting to be at his best."
