Brentford star a real possibility for Chelsea in the summer transfer window

Brentford striker Ivan Toney is a real possibility for Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

Despite spending a ridiculous amount of money in the last two transfer windows, Chelsea have yet to bring in a natural striker. Datro Fofana was signed during the January transfer window, but the young attacker may not be ready for a starting role for a Premier League side.

Joao Felix has been loaned out but it is not a long-term solution for Chelsea unless he signs a permanent deal.

Now speaking to GiveMeSport, journalist Simon Phillips has claimed that Brentford striker Toney is a real possibility for Chelsea in the summer transfer window and is admired by the club.

“Ivan Toney is a player that Chelsea like very much, and that is from the new regime and the new signing team. It is a name that they proposed. But obviously the situation with his gambling problems and what’s going to happen there, what kind of suspension he’s going to get, Chelsea have to wait and see what happens. But Toney is a strong candidate for a striker in the summer.”

If Toney doesn’t receive any form of sanction, he could be a smart signing for Chelsea. It seems that they lack a natural striker who can hold the ball, bring others into the game but also get into the box and score goals.

Toney has proven time and time again that he is a Premier League-level striker and taking the next step to a Champions League club might tempt him.
