Nottingham Forest have tabled an audacious £22million bid to sign Brentford striker Yoane Wissa. The DR Congo forward's current deal at the Gtech Community Stadium runs until 2026, with an option for a further 12 months. He has scored 11 goals in 19 Premier League matches for the Bees, who have adapted brilliantly to live after the sale of their talisman Ivan Toney last summer....read
Bentancur has also received a fine of £100,000, but the blow of his sanction will be worth more to Ange Postecoglou, who has relied on the player heavily during this campaign.
The former Brentford striker's protracted flirtation with a move to a top Premier League club ended on August 30 as he sealed a £40million move to Al-Ahli.
Spurs held an interest in Toney during the summer, Postecoglou confirmed, but eventually decided to swoop for Solanke.
The England international, who joined the Saudi Pro League side for £40million over the summer, looked to have the chance to open up his account when a penalty was awarded to his side.
Toney completed his departure from European football on deadline day and had been getting to grips with his new surroundings in the Middle East over the international break.
Prior to completing his move to the Middle East Toney invited his loved ones to join him and in his leaving speech promised that they are all welcome to come and visit.
Interim England boss Lee Carsley refused to rule out a return to the squad for Ivan Toney despite the striker's big-money move to Saudi Arabia.
SIMON JORDAN: To this day, Manchester United are an incredibly valuable property inside the auspices of the Premier League. They have the effect of gold dust.
Ivan Toney cut a hilariously awkward figure as supporter of his new club Al Ahli debuted a new chant in the striker's honour following his £40m move to the Saudi Pro League side.
A former Manchester United star has moved to Saudi Arabia after leaving one of European football's top teams to put pen-to-paper on a two-year contract at Pro League side Al-Fayha.
Ivan Toney has been spotted cheering on Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium despite agreeing a £40m move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
DOMINIC HOGAN AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Aaron Ramsdale suffered a nightmare debut for Southampton as Brentford thrashed the newly-promoted side.
The Saudi Arabian club, who have until Monday to close their business, sparked life into transfer deadline day by making offers for both Toney and Chelsea target Victor Osimhen of Napoli.
Ivan Toney has completed his medical in London ahead of his proposed £40m move to join Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli as the Brentford strikers prepares to move overseas.
The development comes after Al-Ahli had previously shown interest in Napoli player Victor Osimhen and successfully sealed the deal to sign the 25-year-old.
Some fans even called on the Football Association to 'give the former U21s coach the job permanently', with Rio Ferdinand praising his decision to call-up midfielder Angel Gomes.
After missing out on winning the Premier League title last season to Manchester City, questions have been asked over what Arsenal must do this season to outdo Pep Guardiola's machine.
Manchester United are reportedly plotting a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney , with sources suggesting the club is keen to bolster its attacking options.
Re-live Mail Sport's live blog as we cover all things related to the transfer window including done deals, negotiations and rumours from the 20 Premier League clubs and more from other leagues.
SAMI MOKBEL: Chelsea have an interest in Brentford striker Ivan Toney, though the financials of the deal will dictate whether the Blues pass ahead with a move.
JAY BOTHROYD: People call him arrogant. People called me arrogant. That's good. You need arrogance to be a top player, especially when you're a striker.
Promoted from his role as Under 21s boss, he is determined to give the FA no choice but to hand him the reins for the 2026 World Cup.
He's still one of the biggest names in football, Ronaldo. He can still draw a crowd. It's just that not much of that is about the actual football anymore. This is what playing in Saudi Arabia does for you.
Toney was left out of the Brentford squad for their Premier league season opener on Sunday against Crystal Palace, with manager Thomas Frank admitting the decision was due to transfer interest.
Brentford are maintaining an asking price of £60m but Al-Ahli's next offer could land in the range of £45-£50m.
Arsenal started their latest league season with a 2-0 win at home to Wolves but Lineker believes that there is still room for improvement for Mikel Arteta's side.
Ivan Toney has been left out of Thomas Frank 's squad for Brentford 's opening Premier League game of the season against Crystal Palace later today.
SIMON JONES: Toney (left) had been set to leave the Bees this summer, but no deal has yet been agreed with Brentford and any other side with the start of the Premier League on the horizon.
Rio Ferdinand (inset) has offered his verdict on Man United's reported interest in Ivan Toney as the Brentford striker remains keen on a move away from the Bees after Arsenal's interest cooled.
Toney, 28, has developed into one of the most sought-after Premier League strikers after excelling for the Bees over recent years, but he has just a year remaining on his contract.
Brentford's club-record signing Igor Thiago is expected to be sidelined until late 2024 following successful surgery on a knee injury.
Brentford might fight harder to keep hold of Ivan Toney this summer after new striker Igor Thiago suffered an injury in a pre-season friendly.
Toney has just one year remaining on his current deal at the Gtech Community Stadium and has been the target of interest from several Premier League sides.
Toney stated his desire to join a 'top club that wins trophies' but his options are thinning. Brentford were holding out for £80m in January - with some reports putting that asking price as high as £100m.
England's 2-1 defeat by Spain added yet another traumatic tournament loss into English football history. Here, Mail Sport judges which players will survive to the 2026 squad.
ENGLAND 1-2 SPAIN - OLIVER HOLT AT THE OLYMPIASTADION: When the final whistle went, his players fell to the turf in despair. Southgate put his hands on his hips to compose himself.
Mail Sport understands a move for Toney is not viewed as realistic at this stage, with Manchester United having announced the signing of Joshua Zirkzee on Sunday.
Despite the imminent arrival of Zirkzee, United still hold interest in the Brentford and England star, who is reportedly keen to move to Old Trafford this summer.
Gary Neville (inset) has claimed Ivan Toney (left) could be a better option off the bench for England in Sunday's Euro 2024 final against Spain than semi-final match-winner Ollie Watkins.
DANNY MURPHY: It was a huge decision to take off captain Harry Kane and Phil Foden, who was outstanding in the first half. But it's what the match situation required and the right thing to do.
The Three Lions used a 'buddy system' during their spot-kick triumph over Switzerland in the quarter-finals, whereby a player would walk the previous taker back to the team on the half-way line.
The list was designed to take in not just players' accuracy, but their composure under pressure, as well as the importance of the penalties that are put away.
Piers Morgan has called for Ivan Toney to start England's Euro 2024 semi-final against the Netherlands after footage emerged of the striker scoring a stunning volley in training.
England penalty shoot-out hero Ivan Toney teased fans with a hilarious video mimicking his distinctive no-look penalty style.
Phil Foden has responded to claims that he didn't want to take a penalty during England's shootout victory against Switzerland at Euro 2024.
The Brentford striker showed no sign of nerves as he took his incredible record from 12 yards to the international stage in England's penalty shoot-out win over Switzerland.
The England captain has had to endure long periods without the ball and there have been suggestions in some quarters that Southgate should consider dropping Kane.
The 25-year-old's two brothers were watching from the stands and similar to the rest of the country, looked nervous as he stepped up to take his spotkick.
The 25-year-old smashed the decisive spot-kick into the top left corner after Manuel Akanji missed Switzerland's first penalty, with Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer sent completely the wrong way.
The Bretford star has an incredible 93 per cent success rate from the spot in regulation time, converting 28 of his 30 attempts in his career.
DANNY MURPHY: The dilemma now for Gareth Southgate is what to do with his captain and talisman for the semi-final, because I think he got a bit lucky against the Swiss.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has sparked speculation after he was heard telling friends about an England team-mate who 'didn't want to take a penalty' in the shootout victory over Switzerland.
Ivan Toney has opened up about his unique penalty routine after scoring in England's shootout win over Switzerland on Saturday night.
CRAIG HOPE: It is rare that you feel any emotion when covering a game. I use the word 'anaesthetised', describing the numbing of the joys and stresses of being a football fan.
After being an unused substitute in England's three group stage fixtures, Toney was brought on in the fourth minute of stoppage time against Slovakia, with the Three Lions trailing 1-0.
Jude Bellingham rescued England from crashing out of Euro 2024 against Slovakia on Sunday with a stunning 95th-minute equaliser before Harry Kane's early extra-time winner.
OLIVER HOLT: No matter the identity of the seven players who Gareth Southgate leaves out of his final squad, none is likely to have the same seismic impact as the omission of Gascoigne.
Mail Sport's Ian Ladyman, Craig Hope and Sami Mokbel share their view on who will be the sorry seven, before trying to guess how Southgate will line-up on opening night.
Newcastle defender Trippier will lead out the side at St James' Park in what will be his 47th cap, with five players set to miss the friendly match
England stars have been spotted across the globe as they take time to relax before the European Championships start in two-and-a-half weeks.
Scoring at club-level is one thing, but producing for your country is another, and with Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford left out, some experience is lacking.
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate named a 33-man training squad ahead of this summer's European Championship in Germany, with the final number expected to be 26 that make the trip.
SAMI MOKBEL: England head coach Gareth Southgate faces a defensive injury crisis to leave a host of his high profile forwards sweating on their places in the final Euro 2024 squad.
The Gunners have been touted with a move for several strikers, including Ivan Toney, Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres and Bologna's Joshua Zirkzee.
DOMINIC HOGAN AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: It is not how he would have wanted to approach a Euros summer, yet Brentford boss Thomas Frank backed Toney to fend off Dominic Solanke.
DOMINIC HOGAN AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: Brentford maintained their 10-year run without a league defeat by Bournemouth in truly dramatic fashion with a late 2-1 win.
BRENTFORD 0-0 FULHAM - IVAN SPECK AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Christian Norgaard believes the growing criticism of the departing Ivan Toney is unfair.
The London outfit suffered a 1-0 defeat at the Etihad in February courtesy of an Erling Haaland goal in the 70th minute. The visitors had gone about their daunting assignment commendably.
SIMON JORDAN: Ollie Watkins is having a brilliant season and is in irresistible form. He's on fire. He had a little bite back at me the other day about observations I had made.
TOM COLLOMOSSE: Throughout the campaign Forest have felt they have been on the wrong end of poor decisions from the officials and their trip to Goodison Park has tipped them over the edge.
With Bryan Mbeumo at the heart of everything good about the Bees - and there was plenty of that - Frank's side became the first in 40 years to put four or more past Luton away in the top flight.
KIERAN GILL AT WEMBLEY: Jackson was one-on-one with Ortega in the first half and did not even take a shot. It is hard to think that Ivan Toney would not have seized the chances that came.
DOMINIC HOGAN AT KENILWORTH ROAD: So often this season Bryan Mbeumo has proven the answer to where Brentford's threat comes in the absence of Ivan Toney.
Watkins scored a sublime second in Aston Villa's 2-0 win at Arsenal at the weekend, and notably took to social media to post: 'Not bad for a winger trying to be a striker,' followed by a shush-ing emoji.
The Brentford star has been heavily linked with a move away from west London at the end of the season, with Arsenal previously the favourites to secure his signature.
Who Arsenal turn to in their search, is dependent on a number of variables. Cost, inevitably, will likely become the most prevalent factor of all. Proven attackers don't come cheap.
DOMINIC HOGAN AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: In a game crying out for a clinical touch in the final third, Thomas Frank showed both great foresight and impressive restraint.
It came after Watkins scored his 19th Premier League goal of the season - 26th in all competitions - to help Unai Emery's side tighten their grip on fourth place with a 2-0 win against Arsenal.
DOMINIC HOGAN AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Rarely have so many groans been heard at a stadium. For more than an hour, this game promised to fade from memory by the morning.
