David Ornstein reveals the stumbling block Arsenal face in Ivan Toney transfer pursuit

David Ornstein has given a significant update on Arsenal's reported pursuit of Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

Toney is currently banned from football due to gambling offences, and has not played a competitive game since last season as a result.

The England striker's ban expires on January 17, however, meaning he is eligible to sign and play for another club during the upcoming transfer window.

He has been linked with moves to both Arsenal and Chelsea, with the Gunners potentially holding an advantage due to the fact that they are currently playing European football.
