Brentford have completed the signing of Ivan Toney. 

They recently reached an agreement with Peterborough to buy the 24-year-old striker.

He has long been a target for the Bees and has finally moved to west London in a deal which, with add-ons, could be worth up to £10m.


Brentford will pay an initial fee of £5m for Toney, who has signed a five-year contract.

Head coach Thomas Frank told the club website: “I’d like to welcome Ivan to the club.

“We are adding a hungry, ambitious, hard-working striker to the group here.

“He fits what I want in a striker; he is a goalscorer, he gets into good positions in the box, he is good playing on the last line, and will contribute to our link-up play.

“Our strikers are a big part of our pressing game, and Ivan, with his work ethic, will help us with that.”
