Chelsea are making a late push to sign Ivan Toney ahead of transfer deadline day.
The Brentford striker is expected to leave the club before the window closes on Friday, 30 August, after being omitted from the matchday in both of their opening Premier League fixtures.
The Blues, meanwhile, are keen on signing a number nine with a proven goalscoring record after signing 11 new players this summer.
That’s why Chelsea have ‘made a move’ for Toney, who they will only sign if a deal can be done for a ‘reasonable’ transfer fee and doesn’t break their wage structure, according to Sky Sports News.
