Chelsea have a strong interest in signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney this summer as the Blues look to reinforce their under performing front line.
The Stamford Bridge giants have often struggled to find the impetus in the attacking third of the pitch this season and the Chelsea ownership could be keen to splash the cash on another recruit to address that issue.
According to a claim from Simon Phillips via Substack, the highly-rated England international Toney, who has been a stellar figure for Brentford this term, is subject to serious interest from Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window.
Chelsea’s proposed head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, who is expected to take over at the Bridge later this year, will have his say on moving in for Toney but it is said that the Chelsea top brass are convinced that the Brentford man is their top target.
On-loan forward Joao Felix could be on his way back to parent club Atletico Madrid with the Spanish capital city outfit seeking a big money fee to part company with the Portuguese as Chelsea consider other alternatives on their shopping list.
