According to reports, Chelsea are now trying to sign striker Ivan Toney from Brentford.

Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol has reported on the deal: “Chelsea have made a move to sign Ivan Toney from Brentford.

“They want a proven goalscorer to be their new No. 9. He will fit into their wage structure and transfer fee will be reasonable. Toney has incredible offer from Saudi but Chelsea can offer Premier League football.”

Ivan Toney, 28, has scored 72 goals in 141 appearances for Brentford in four years at the club, including 39 in 89 Premier League appearances.

Ivan Toney served an eight-month ban from football last year for betting.
