Thomas Frank hopes Ivan Toney will remain at Brentford 'forever' but did not categorically rule out the England striker leaving the club in January.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea have been linked with a swoop in the winter transfer window for Toney, who by January 17 will be available again after serving an eight-month ban for breaching betting rules.
It has been reported that Brentford have slapped a £100million price tag on a player who scored 20 goals last season and made his England debut against Ukraine in a European Championship qualifier in March.
