Chelsea are no longer the favourites to recruit Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
Arsenal are dominating the race to recruit Ivan Toney ahead of the January transfer window, according to The Evening Standard.
After completing his ban, the 27-year-old striker will be available again next month, and he’s a well-known name after hitting 20 Premier League goals for Brentford last season.
The Ivan Toney race takes an unexpected turn.
According to the Evening Standard, Arsenal are leading the race to recruit Brentford’s forward, despite interest from Chelsea and Tottenham.
According to the report, Arsenal have emerged as the favoured option for the centre-forward.
According to the source, Chelsea is the most likely destination for the England forward, who will cost £60 million upfront and up to £80 million in total.
However, Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s poor form this season has cost them leverage in this transfer race. In addition, because to budgetary constraints, the Blues must make a number of sales before they can go out and spend big in January.
Finally, Spurs are regarded as outsiders because they are unable to pay Brentford’s asking price.
Chelsea’s poor form has cost them.
The Blues did reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals by overcoming Newcastle United on penalties last night, so there is still hope for this season.
However, there is no getting around the fact that the league form has been abysmal. Chelsea is tenth in the league standings, with 22 points from 17 games. We’ll add that there’s a mini-run of fixtures against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Crystal Palace, and Luton Town left in 2023 to try to climb the table.
As a talented No 9, we believe Brentford’s Toney would be a game changer at Stamford Bridge. Unfortunately, it appears that his chances of being captured are dwindling.
Last month, Shaun Wright-Phillips told The Sport Review that Toney would be a “tremendous” addition to Chelsea or Arsenal. The media is reporting that the latter are in the lead at the moment.
