Brentford is getting ready for Ivan Toney’s departure as Chelsea and Arsenal show interest in him.

Brentford are bracing themselves for the departure of Ivan Toney, as contract negotiations have yet to begin. The Mirror reports that both Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in the striker, with Brentford seemingly resigned to losing him. Toney, who recently served a gambling ban, has 18 months left on his current deal. Arsenal and Chelsea will have to pay a hefty fee, with figures of £100 million being quoted for the Premier League’s top scorer last season.

In other news, Bayern Munich have expressed interest in signing Tottenham defender Eric Dier. Dier’s contract with Spurs expires in the summer, and Bayern could potentially secure his services in January to avoid losing him for free. The Bundesliga champions have already initiated talks with Dier, who is not part of head coach Ange Postecoglou’s plans at Tottenham.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are ready to offload Jonny Otto following his exclusion from the first team. The defender was involved in a training ground altercation, resulting in his removal from the squad. Wolves are willing to sell him for just £2.5 million, despite him having 18 months remaining on his contract. This marks a significant loss for the club, who paid £18 million for Otto four years ago.

Crystal Palace are among the clubs vying for the signature of Bromley’s talented 19-year-old midfielder, Ben Krauhaus. The Sun reports that Wolves, Brentford, and several lower league sides are also interested in the player. Krauhaus impressed scouts from ten different clubs during Bromley’s recent 5-1 victory over Ebbsfleet. Championship teams Leicester, Norwich, Cardiff, and Hull, as well as League One side Oxford, have all sent representatives to watch Krauhaus, who has been in fine form in recent months.
