      However, that has not stopped the rampant speculation on his future.
      Arsenal and Chelsea have been the clubs most heavily linked with a move for the England forward, with some reports suggesting he could cost as much as £100million.
      And now with the January transfer window fast approaching, Fabrizio Romano has revealed Toney’s preference for a transfer.
      Speaking on his Kick channel, via The Boot Room, Romano said: “From what I’m hearing, this is one more detail on Ivan Toney.

      “This is a rumour I’m hearing that his preference in terms of a top club move in January or the summer would be to go to Arsenal.
      “From what I’m hearing Ivan Toney could be really excited by the possibility of joining Arsenal.”
      However, SunSport reported in November that Toney was torn over the idea of a transfer in January, with a source saying that he feels he has a debt to pay to Brentford for sticking by him.
      Toney, 27, scored 20 Premier League goals for the Bees last season before his ban.

      His record marked him out as one of the most prolific forwards in the division under Thomas Frank.
      Brentford have managed in his absence and find themselves firmly in midtable.
      However, the Bees have just lost fellow star man – and this season’s top scorer – Bryan Mbuemo to injury.
      Despite that, Brentford may still choose to cash in on Toney with his ban set to expire.
      Toney cannot return to competitive action until January 17 at the earliest.
      He has already appeared in a couple of behind-closed-doors friendlies, scoring on his return game in October before netting again in a match against Watford last month.

      According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants want to keep the Portuguese tactician who has also won the fans over.
      The Roma faithful are so behind the ex-Chelsea boss that they even put up a banner at Olimpico, calling him a “Romanista for life” on Sunday during the 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.
      However, the former Manchester United manager wants another two-year deal in Rome whereas the club chiefs are more keen on a one-year extension.
      Nevertheless, Roma officials are willing to pay Mourinho €7.5m (£6.4m) per season.

      Palace have won just four times in 16 matches, piling pressure on veteran boss Roy Hodgson.
      And speculation continues to claim that Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis could replace Steve Cooper – despite supporters still very much showing their support for their manager.
      Now a fresh report in Spain has claimed that Julen Lopetegui is wanted by both teams.
      The 57-year-old former Spanish national team and Real Madrid boss is currently a free agent.

      However, following a disagreement with Molineux chiefs over the direction that the club was going in, he left the club just days before the start of this season.
      Lopetegui is allegedly still living in England due to his desire to land another job in our top-flight.
      And now he may not have to wait too much longer for an opportunity.

      Marca claim that Palace have “already approached” Lopetegui about potentially replacing Hodgson, but Forest are “the most interested” in him.
      This update states that he has been “updating himself” by watching a lot of live matches throughout his time out of the game.
      He has also visited Manchester City to chat with Pep Guardiola and is believed to have enjoyed a recent three-hour meeting with England’s Gareth Southgate as well.
      Lopetegui remains “waiting” for something to come up and this report is saying that Forest have already “sounded out” his availability.
      But with Palace also already being in touch with an approach, it looks set to be a straight out fight for his services from the two strugglers.

      Premier League clubs vote for anti-Chelsea rule with fans stunned to find Todd Boehly’s Blues were one of them

      by

      PREMIER LEAGUE clubs have voted to limit the period over which transfer fees can be paid to just five years. The decision was made following a vote at a virtual shareholders’ meeting on Tuesday.
      Chelsea have spent £1bn in transfers under Todd BoehlyCredit: Rex
      Todd Boehly’s Chelsea had taken advantage of amortisation rules to sign more than £1BILLION worth of players and spread the cost over a longer period to help balance the books.
      So a player signed for £60m on a six-year contract would cost a team £10m per year in their accounts.
      Enzo Fernandez penned a staggering eight-and-a-half-year deal, while Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo both signed eight-year contracts.
      The new rule brings the Premier League in line with Uefa, who set a five-year limit on amortisation in June.

      It was voted in by 15 Premier League clubs INCLUDING Chelsea, kicks in tomorrow and does not affect existing deals.
      And teams ARE still allowed to give players contracts lasting longer than five years.
      A statement read: “Premier League Shareholders today agreed to amend the rule on amortisation of player registration costs to bring in line with UEFA’s regulations.
      “Going forward, a five-year maximum will apply to all new or extended player contracts.

      “Clubs also approved a rule amendment to enable the Premier League Board, in circumstances where a Club owes a transfer debt to another Premier League or EFL Club, to stop the Club registering more players until the outstanding payment has been made.
      “The Board can also have the option to deduct the amount from the Club’s entitlement to the League’s central funds.”
      Boehly’s decision to vote for the rule change sparked a frenzy with fans.
      One said: “Why is Chelsea in favour of that.”
      Another added: “Exploited the system then stopped the other teams from copying.”
      One joked: “Take advantage of the loophole and then vote against it. Todd Boehly Masterclass.”
