Arsenal hero Paul Merson wants to see Brentford striker Ivan Toney signed.

Merson rates Toney at Gabriel Jesus' level.

Speaking on Sky Sports on Saturday, he said: "I don't see too much difference between him and Gabriel Jesus, I don't, but if I was Arsenal, I would take him.

"I would take him. He suits Arsenal down to the ground. Sometimes you cannot go long with Jesus, but you can go long with Toney. He is good in the air.

"He has got a very good brain, Toney. He can see a picture. He is not Harry Kane, but he can do a Harry Kane job where he can come off the centre-halves and he can pass through and he can find a pass and he is tidy."
