The Brentford striker is currently serving an eight-month ban from football due to 232 betting breaches.
He will not be able to play again until January 16, but it has not prevented interest from top clubs.
The Mail report that Man Utd, Chelsea and Tottenham are all keen on signing Toney in January.
They also claim there has been initial interest in him during this window despite the ongoing suspension.
Brentford value Toney at £80m.
