Arsenal title winner Paul Merson is urging his old club to go for Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

As he serves his betting ban, Bees manager Thomas Frank has admitted Toney could be sold in January.

For Merson, the Gunners must move for the centre-forward, telling Sky Sports: "It's alright sitting there and thinking: 'they need a centre forward' but who is there?

"Only Ivan Toney is available for them in January there aren't many centre forwards around in the world. They're a dying breed.

"Toney is a good player he can hold the ball up, he's good in the air. Arsenal might have to go for him. But there are not a million centre forwards around."
