THOMAS FRANK rates Ivan Toney up there with the world's best hitmen, including Manchester City's Erling Haaland.
The stats might suggest differently and the Brentford boss accepts it is a hypothetical debate for now - but, in his opinion, Toney is in the conversation regarding the planet's most lethal strikers.
Norwegian Haaland blitzed 36 goals in an astonishing first Premier League season and has rattled 14 so far this time despite only playing three games since the start of December with a foot injury.
Meanwhile, Toney, with two goals in two games since returning from his eight-month betting ban, notched up 32 over the Bees' opening two top-flight campaigns before this season.
