Brentford boss Thomas Frank does not believe Ivan Toney views Saturday’s trip to Arsenal as an ‘audition’ amidst reported transfer interest.
The Dane said his players will be focused only on trying to improve a run which has seen them lose 12 of their last 16 league games as they look to derail Arsenal’s title bid.“I don’t think sees any of the games as auditions,” said Frank. “He plays for Brentford, he wants to perform for Brentford, wants to do well for us.
“There’s a lot of rumours about a lot of things. I know Ivan very well and he is focusing on one thing – perform, do everything to help the team, hopefully score a few goals, and that’ll be it.”Brentford have slipped to within six points of the relegation zone after their recent poor run, having won just three times since early November.
“No, I don’t think so,” he said. “Form-wise, momentum, they are right up there. Arsenal, Liverpool and City, they are ahead of the rest.
