Chelsea changed their transfer chase as a new prospect is set to arrive in West London soon.

Due to the impending arrival of a fresh prospect in West London, Chelsea decided to alter their transfer pursuit.

Victor Osimhen has been linked to Chelsea for the previous several days, but he has insisted on only accepting a permanent transfer. The Blues had already raised the possibility of a loan agreement as they had been unable to meet the high asking price for him, but they were unsuccessful when Napoli turned them down in favour of other serious parties who were willing to pay the high asking price.

Ivan Toney, a striker for Brentford who has missed practice this season, has reportedly been linked to Chelsea, according SkySport. Since Enzo Maresca made the player their first priority, the Blues intend to increase their total.

The Bees had originally valued Ivan Toney at over £70 million for a transfer fee, but it appears they were forced to lower their asking price because the wildly popular team did not show any more interest. Toney is currently only estimated to be worth between £50 and £60 million, and it appears that Enzo Maresca would choose this alternative because it is significantly less expensive than Victor Osimhen’s asking price.

Even at £45 million, Skysport Journalists think Ivan Toney could still be available for less. The Blues would be willing to meet this asking price right away in order to recruit a new player before the transfer window closes on the 30th.

All parties seem prepared to make a trade happen, but Brentford is adamant on getting a fair price and, according to The Times, want at least £50 million for a striker who scored 20 goals in his most recent complete Premier League season.

Manager Thomas Frank responded to a question on Sunday about whether it was only a matter of time before Toney left Brentford by saying, “Yes, I guess that is fair.”

Ivan seems to be a really good player. For a considerable amount of time, he has been our greatest player, if not the best, and a top player.

“Every top player in the Premier League will eventually leave the team, and someone will need to step up and perform well in their place.”

Despite Toney’s eight-month sentence for betting offences that halted his ascent at Brentford, England manager Gareth Southgate nevertheless brought the forward to Euro 2024.

Playing as England’s captain Harry Kane’s backup, he didn’t play much for the Three Lions, but in the elimination round, he provided an important assist and then scored in the penalty shootout against Switzerland.

Ex-England defender Gary Neville said on Sky Sports in response to Toney’s absence from Brentford’s Premier League victory over Crystal Palace and rumours that he may go to Saudi Arabia: “I would love to see him stay in the Premier League.”

However, there are rumours that he might be travelling to Saudi Arabia, which is unfortunate.

While we have certainly enjoyed seeing him in the Premier League over the past several years, it’s likely that he feels obligated to make the most of this contract above all others.

It is evident that he has not had the same career trajectory as many players his age who have played for England and made substantial salaries.

He might do that because he feels compelled to go make as much money as he can.

“I hope he continues to play in the Premier League.” He might be very useful to a different team.
