After serving his suspension for gambling, Ivan Toney appears certain to leave Brentford at the end of the current campaign. Chelsea will go “heaven and earth” to sign him.
This summer, Chelsea plans to move “heaven and earth” to entice Ivan Toney to Stamford Bridge.
The 27-year-old Toney is expected to depart Brentford at the end of the current campaign; the Bees are requesting £80 million in exchange for their striker. And when he calls time at the Gtech Commnity Stadium, Chelsea will be the team vying for his signature.
The Sun claims that Chelsea will do whatever it takes to acquire their man because Mauricio Pochettino sees him as the final piece in the puzzle. Ivan Toney is what Chelsea wants, an insider told the outlet. He is currently the best striker available in the Premier League, and it is common knowledge that Chelsea needs a striker.
“Pochettino has stated emphatically that the club should do everything in its power to acquire him, should he be available and the deal can be finalized. He thinks Toney can bring his team together and help them achieve the necessary results to once again be serious title contenders.”
Victor Osimhen of Napoli was a target for Chelsea. But with Kylian Mbappe’s impending departure, it appears that the Nigerian is headed to PSG.
