Chelsea is no longer the front-runners to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford.
The Evening Standard claims that Arsenal is in the lead in their pursuit of signing Ivan Toney before the January transfer window opens.
After completing his suspension, the 27-year-old striker—who is well-known—will be back in action next month. He scored 20 Premier League goals while playing for Brentford previous season.
The race Ivan Toney takes a turn
According to today’s Evening Standard, Arsenal is leading Brentford’s front-runner to be signed, even though Chelsea and Tottenham are also interested.
It is explained that the center-forward’s favoured option now is title-chasing Arsenal.
According to the source, Chelsea was thought to be the most likely destination for the England forward, who will require an upfront payment of £60 million and a potential total cost of £80 million.
But Mauricio Pochettino’s team’s bad play this season has cost them ground in this transfer window. In addition, the Blues must generate a lot of revenue before they can afford to spend much in January.
Lastly, because Spurs are unable to match Brentford’s asking price, they are viewed as outsiders.
Their Chelsea form has cost them.
There is still life in this season, as evidenced by the Blues’ victory over Newcastle United on penalties last night, which sent them to the Carabao Cup semifinals.
There’s no denying, though, that the league form has been terrible. Chelsea has just 22 points after 17 games, placing them tenth in the league standings. We will also mention that in an attempt to move up the league, there is a brief remaining schedule of games in 2023 against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crystal Palace, and Luton Town.
As a top-notch No. 9, we believe Brentford’s Toney would change everything at Stamford Bridge. Regretfully, it appears that the likelihood of obtaining him is decreasing.
In an interview with The Sport Review last month, Shaun Wright-Phillips said that Toney would make a “tremendous” addition to either Chelsea or Arsenal. The media is making a lot of fuss about the latter’s current leadership.
