Brentford have announced the club- record signing of striker Igor Thiago from Club Brugge, paving the way for Ivan Toney to leave the club in the summer. Toney, who has struck three times in four Premier League appearances since returning from his gambling ban, has long been linked with a move away from Brentford and has attracted interest from a number of elite Premier League sides. Both Arsenal and Chelsea are long-term admirers of Toney, while Manchester United have recently been touted as potential suitors for the 27-year-old, who will enter the final 12 months of his contract in the summer. As a clear sign of Toney's imminent departure from the club, Brentford have agreed to break their transfer record to sign 22-year-old Thiago for a reported £30m. Thiago will remain with Club Brugge until the end of the season before inking a five-year deal at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Arsenal 's return to the Champions League in 2023/24 has gone swimmingly by and large and there's major optimism in north London over a long run in this season's competition. The Gunners charged through the group stage as they topped a set of teams including PSV Eindhoven, Lens and Sevilla to reach the knockout stages, where they will first meet Porto in the last 16. The Portuguese side have had their peaks and troughs in European competition and while a repeat of their heroics in 2004 under Jose Mourinho is unlikely, Porto have still beaten sides like Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus in the Champions League in recent years.
