Chelsea Eyeing Ivan Toney As Osimhen Alternative

Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for Brentford’s prolific striker Ivan Toney as an alternative to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

According to emerging reports from the media, the two-time UEFA Champions League winners have been tracking Ivan Toney for over a year as they seek to resolve their ongoing striker issues.

Despite a busy summer transfer window under owner Todd Boehly, Chelsea are still looking to strengthen their squad, especially after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Manchester City in their Premier League opener.

Napoli’s reluctance to part with Victor Osimhen has pushed Chelsea to explore more feasible options, with Ivan Toney emerging as a potential target.

The Brentford striker has netted 72 goals and provided 23 assists for the club, and he has expressed a desire to move to a UEFA Champions League-qualifying team.

Chelsea will have to meet Brentford’s valuation for Ivan Toney before they will be able to secure his signature this summer.
