Brentford boss Thomas Frank believes Ivan Toney would score 25 goals for a \u2018bigger club\u2019. Toney has been strongly linked with a January transfer with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United hoping to seal an expensive deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Toney is back in Brentford training after serving half of his eight-month suspension from football. He was banned in May after being found guilty of 232 breaches of the Football Association\u2019s gambling rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old will return to competitive football in January but that will not prevent interest from the biggest clubs. Man Utd and Chelsea have both been linked with the Brentford No 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Frank believes Toney would score 25 goals for one of those clubs. He boldly claimed that he is one of the best centre-forwards in world football.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking on Sky Sports, the Dane said: \u201cI understand why there are lots of rumours. For me, I don\u2019t think there are many No 9s better than him in the world. Kane, Lewandowski\u2026 he scored 20 goals last season in a very good Brentford side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I understand why clubs are looking at him. We know in the modern world that these players are very expensive.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just focusing on him. I\u2019ve had a long meeting with him today, his first day back at training. We presented a plan and an Ivan Toney 2.0. He\u2019s on board.\u201d<\/p>\n Frank revealed last week that Brentford have a 16-week plan for Toney\u2019s return to football. The striker was allowed to begin training with his team-mates again on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHe will be able to join the group, of course,\u201d said Frank. \u201cWe have made a plan for him for the next 16 weeks, and that will change once we get closer to when he can play in the team.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

He knows that we want the best for him, and that we are there for him.\u201d<\/p>\n Toney revealed in August that despite reported interest from Chelsea and Man Utd, it is actually Liverpool who he would prefer to join. A childhood Reds supporter, Toney also harbours admiration for Arsenal.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, [I\u2019m a] Liverpool fan,\u201d he told the Diary of a CEO podcast. \u201cI have been a Liverpool fan my whole life, but from young I have liked Arsenal, I like watching Arsenal and how they play and kind of how passionate the fans are. But, yeah, Liverpool fan \u2013 Liverpool boy at heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
