Powerhouse striker will be allowed to join Chelsea for £40M– could this be a perfect signing for Tuchel?
According to latest reports, Chelsea have been told that they could sign Ivan Toney for just £40 million this summer window
However, Chelsea opted to let Romelu Lukaku leave the club and head back to Italian football for the next 12 months – with many believing that he will not be returning from Inter Milan next summer
Timo Werner has been in the headlines alot that he could depart the club – while Armando Broja is not yet ready to lead this Chelsea attack to the Premier League title – meaning that Thomas Tuchel will need to sign a new forward – he has too
Chelsea have so many attacking options – but they do not have that forward that will hold the ball up – that will win things in the air – that will offer the attack something different – and that is why Toney has been linked with the club.
However, Brentford have slapped a £40million price tag on their star man this summer knowing that all the big clubs are eyeing up a potential deal – especially as many believe he would be a 20-goal a season hitman if he made the step up
They know that they will be unable to keep hold of the power should should an offer arrive – but they will not be budging too much on that asking price
