No contact has been made by Arsenal or Chelsea for Ivan Toney yet.

The Brentford striker is likely to leave the club this summer and some of the Premier League's biggest teams have been mulling over a bid.

Fabrizio Romano reports that the situation is quiet for now, however.

“It’s wuiet around Ivan Toney right now," the journalist told Caught Offside.

"Honestly, Arsenal and Chelsea never made proposals now or in January despite links – I’m told Toney’s situation will be assessed in the summer and it’s not one for May. Let’s see the strikers domino, and the player’s price tag. Brentford never wanted to make any discount for Toney, despite some talk of his price coming down significantly.”

He has a £100 million release clause that can be activated in June, and Rivaldo thinks that, if given the choice, Bruno would choose City over Arsenal.

"He's a great player and has been standing out this season," he told Betfair. "It's clear that nowadays everyone wants to play for Manchester City because they have Pep Guardiola and a very tight and harmonious team. I believe that if Guimaraes leaves Newcastle, he will choose to go to Manchester City."
