Chelsea free to sign Dutchman – Blues closing in on £70m Man – £80M star told suited to Chelsea
Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news and gossip from icfootballnews that we think you guys may have missed today –
Daniel Sturridge named Chelsea as the club that will suit Brentford striker Ivan Toney the most if he pursues a transfer.
Toney has been a man in the headlines for the past few months as it is heavily believed that all the big clubs will make a move for him in the January window, when he officially returns from that football ban.
Sturridge believes all the top clubs in the Premier League would want to bring in Toney, but explained his style is most suited to the football on show at Stamford Bridge.
‘I would say he will suit CHELSEA the most, he could play for Spurs. I’m not sure who needs him most as they all need him.
‘He is a top striker and deserves that opportunity, Evan Ferguson is another one, I believe he has that killer instinct and the way he scores and finishes. I look at him and can see he is driven by goals and wants to do it.’
Meanwhile Punit Jamie Carragher offered his own analysis of Toney’s talents and urged Arsenal to take a chance on the 27-year-old proven goalscorer and matchwinner.
Carragher said: ‘Yes he could [join Arsenal] and he is a different type of striker.
‘Huge fan of his but making jump to a big club and can you not cope with the scrutiny, there’s not that expectation against Brentford.
‘No doubt that the quality is there, but take Arsenal to title? Arsenal might need to take that chance if they don’t fix that position and the goalkeeper situation then difficult to overhaul Man City.’
IcFootballnews Opinion –
Toney is a quality act, he has all the qualities to be a massive star at CHELSEA – but we do believe that he may stay put in the January window and could wait until the summer to make his next decision.
But it will be interesting to see just where he ends up when he does make the move away.
BLUES CLOSING IN ON WIRTZ –
Chelsea are now getting closer to signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen – it has been claimed in the media
It is no secret that CHELSEA, have been one of the biggest spenders in the transfer windows over the last few seasons, and it is also no secret that Mauricio Pochettino wants to add a bit more quality to the side.
Despite the fact that some serious money has been spent, Pochettino has seen his side lack creativity and goals this season, which has ultimately meant that they have started the new season in poor fashion.
That has led to more suggestions in the media that Chelsea will once again delve into that transfer kitty in the January window and try to add a few new players, with Wirtz a man that the club now want, That is according To the Daily Star,
The reports claimed that Chelsea have been holding positive talks with the lad and are progressing over a potential deal
The lad is making a real name for himself in the Bundesliga and has also attracted the interest of Manchester City boss Pepe Guardiola.
IcFootballnews View…
Look, Wirtz is a very exciting talent that has had a brilliant start to the new season, but he is not a man that will come in and make much of an impact for Pochettino, he needs to add some experience.
There are better players out there that Chelsea should sign, there are players on the market that have done alot more in the game and there are players out there that could make an impact now.
So, even though Wirtz would be another exciting signing for CHELSEA, they already have a number of talents that have big futures in the game and dont need to waste anymore money on signings like this lad.
DUMFRIES FEE SET –
It has been claimed that Chelsea have been told the price they will need to pay if they wish to sign Denzel Dumfries.
Dumfries is a player that CHELSEA have been eyeing up for some time – but have never made an official offer – but after seeing him impress at the World Cup – and then in the Champions League and Seria A last season – Chelsea are determined to sign the defender

They were heavily linked with a move for the defender during the summer window, and there some big claims that they were actually closing in a potential deal as the Italians were ready to do some business.
However – a move failed to materialise as Inter wanted to keep hold this season in hope that they could convince Dumfries to end all the speculation and commit to his long-term future at the club
The versatile Dutch full-back’s current contract expires in 2024 and it remains to be seen if the Serie A giants will consider offering him a new deal.
Inter are now set to demand €50 million for their star player Denze Dumfries who is wanted by Premier League Chelsea and Manchester United, according to La Gazzetta via Fichajes.
Amid all the speculation and the rumours – reporter Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews: ‘Chelsea do not need to splash the cash to sign a defender that will replace Reece James – just provide back-up.
‘The Dutchman is a starter – he is a player that will want to play every-game and that could cause issues.
‘James is one of the best wingbacks in the game, so CHELSEA. should be looking to sign a player that will provide him good competition – be a good back-up but also be ready to sit on the bench and be happy.
‘There is no harm in having two quality wingbacks in the squad – but with both of them eager to play – Dumfries would be a very good signing if he is prepared to wait for his chances.
