Brentford manager Thomas Frank has ruled out star striker Ivan Toney, who is a target for both Arsenal and Chelsea, leaving the club during the January transfer window. Toney will imminently return to action from an eight-month ban issued in May for breaching football betting rules. He was one of the Premier League's top goalscorers last season, netting 20 times for the Bees and outscored only by Erling Haaland (36) and Harry Kane (30). Brentford had been doing fine in his absence, sitting ninth in the table in early November. But seven losses in their last eight league Game s, including the last five in a row, to plummet down the standings, suggesting it is a welcome time for Toney's return.

Nottingham Forest are in talks with Manchester United over a potential permanent transfer for goalkeeper Dean Henderson, 90min understands. Henderson spent the 2022/23 campaign on loan with Forest, which saw the club survive in the Premier League in their first top flight season for 23 years.
