Exclusive: Brentford is competing against Bournemouth and Palace for the Liverpool rival who might take Ivan Toney’s place…

Thijs Dallinga, a striker for Toulouse, is being followed by Brentford, Bournemouth, and Crystal Palace in the Premier League, according to TEAMtalk.

Dallinga, who recently scored goals both at home and away against Liverpool in the Europa League, has impressed for Toulouse thus far this season and raised his profile.

Scouts following Dallinga’s progress at Toulouse this season are from several European clubs, including Bournemouth, Palace, and Brentford.

The 23-year-old has scored seven goals in 16 appearances for Toulouse in all competitions, and because of his play, other teams are keeping an eye on him ahead of the January transfer window.

All three of Bournemouth, Palace, and Brentford are looking to bolster their strike forces, and Dallinga’s performance in France has impressed them.

Dallinga joined Toulouse from Dutch side Excelsior in the summer of 2022 and helped them win the French Cup last season.

The Netherlands Under-21 international netted 18 goals in all competitions for Toulouse in his debut campaign last term.

Thijs Dallinga attracting Premier League interest
Brentford’s interest comes at a time when the West London club is increasingly likely to lose Ivan Toney in the January transfer window.

The England international is currently serving a ban for betting breaches but is expected to move on when his suspension ends on January 16, with Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea heavily linked with a move for the 27-year-old in recent months.

Teamtalk exclusively revealed earlier this month that Toney has informed Brentford that he wants to leave the club in January, putting potential suitors on high alert after scoring 63 goals in 111 appearances since arriving from Peterborough United in 2020.

Brentford currently sit 11th in the Premier League table, a point ahead of Palace in 13th.

Roy Hodgson’s side have coped well at the start of this season following the loss of talismanic winger Wilfried Zaha in the summer, with Odsonne Edouard the club’s top scorer so far this season with six goals.

After waiting until October 28 to register their first Premier League victory of the season, Bournemouth currently sits three points above the relegation zone in 17th after a 2-0 win over Newcastle last weekend.

 

Leading forward Dominic Solanke has shone under new manager Andoni Iraola, contributing seven goals so far this season, including a double in the recent 2-0 victory over Newcastle.
