Chelsea are currently in pole position to make Ivan Toney transfer. The Blues are keen to sign a quality forward. Their finishing in front of goal has been subpar. In fact, Maresca’s men were unable to score a single goal against Man City in their opening game. Mareca’s men were unable to find the back of the net. 23-year-old striker Nicolas Jackson lacked composure in front of goal. Maresca had a great chance to get his stint at London underway with a big win. But, they ended up losing to the defending champions at home. To make things worse, City were not even at their full strength. Key players like Kyle Walker and Rodri did not feature for Pep’s side.
The Blues losing their opening game of the Premier League was very disappointing for the fans. The supporters were hoping to see more from their team. The lack of a quality striker was evident. So, perhaps Chelsea making Ivan Toney transfer could be the key to victory for them. The London side were far from their levels in the last season. They went on to secure a 6th place finish. While it was an improvement considering their 22/23 campaign, but they did lose out the UEL spot to Man Utd. To make matters worse, they would also end the season without a trophy. They did manage to qualify for the UEL final. But, Liverpool managed to beat them after extra time.
Will Chelsea secure Ivan Toney transfer
Chelsea were one of the clubs keen to secure Ivan Toney transfer. But, they recently did sign Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid. So, it will be interesting to see if they make a move for the Brentford man now. No doubt, he is a quality striker. As per en.wikipedia.org, he has 164 goals in his club career. He is no stranger to Premier League football either. The Englishman would surely be a quality addition at the Stamford Bridge. But, whether a move for him is necessary at this point is up for debate.
Many Premier League clubs were looking to sign the 28-year-old. Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle and Man Utd were keen on signing him. But, as per sportsview.co.uk, Chelsea are now the only English club looking to make a transfer for Ivan Toney. Although, a club form Saudi is also lurking around the Englishman. Al-Ahli are wanting to make a move for him. Their first offer of £35 million was rejected by the Bees. But, they are planning to make a revised bid. So, there is a chance that we may see him playing in Saudi.
What will the Blues do?
The Blues are also very much in the race to sign Victor Osimhen. So, maybe Chelsea should not make a transfer for Ivan Toney. But we, at footballexpress.in, think that signing the 28-year-old won’t be that bad of an idea. He is available for much lesser price. At the same time, he has been great for Brentford in the Premier League. As per transfermarkt.co.in, he has 95 G/A in 141 outings for them.
The Blues already have more than 40+ players in their squad. But, if Chelsea are still pushing in for making a transfer for a striker, Ivan Toney wouldn’t be a bad choice. Given the stage of his career, he should be playing at the top level in Europe. So, it is unlikely that we may see him moving to Saudi. At the same time, event the striker prefers to stay in England. So, a move to London would be good for him too. He has a lot of potential. We may very well see him becoming a star at the Stamford Bridge.
