Commenting on the decision to call up Toney, England manager Gareth Southgate said: “With Ivan Toney we’ve been following him for a long time.
“I had a good chat with Thomas Frank about him last season.
“His form and qualities – not only his scoring chances but also his technical ability, build-up play and header ability – give us a different threat than some of the other players we might pick.”
Toney has been included in the England squad for the games against Italy and Germany from next week.
When does Brentford play Arsenal?
Brentford vs Arsenal takes place on Sunday 18th September.
The game starts at 12 o’clock.
The game was moved forward from its original 2:00 p.m. kick-off. This is due to police concerns surrounding the Queen’s laying out and funeral the next day.
Arsenal said: “The earlier start was agreed following talks between the Premier League, the Metropolitan Police, Brentford and us following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”

Odegaard not in the squad
Reportedly, Martin Odegaard has not traveled with the Arsenal squad.
The Norwegian was thought to have a punch that will put him out of action today despite yesterday’s practice session.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is also out with a muscle problem.
However, the good news for Gunners fans is that Thomas Partey is fit and available again.

Out for revenge
When those two sides last met at Brentford Community Stadium, the Bees stole all three points in a 2-0 win that sent shockwaves through the Premier League on their return to the top flight.
The defeat dropped Arsenal to the bottom of the Premier League and sparked a three-game losing streak that saw fans call for their manager to be sacked.
A year later, supporters find themselves in a very different situation. Mikel Arteta has just won the Manager of the Month award after scoring 15 points out of a possible 18 and fans are dreaming of their first league title since the 2003/2004 season.

Welcome to Brentford v Arsenal
Good morning and welcome to this lunchtime London derby as in-form Brentford host a Gunners side hoping to go top of the league with a win today.
The Bees have been impressive on home turf this season, claiming their two wins at Brentford Community Stadium. Thomas Frank will be particularly confident going into this clash having won a whopping 17 of his last 22 London derbies at home.
Arsenal will be hoping to stop that run and put the 3-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United in the last round behind them and steal all three points from ninth-placed Brentford.
The visitors have performed well away from home this season, scoring in both halves in two of their last three away games.
The action is scheduled for 12pm sharp in South West London and we’ll be bringing you all the team information shortly as we build on the promises of becoming a Belter!
