‘Perfect for Chelsea’ Blues board told ahead of potential late summer Stamford Bridge arrival
Strong words from Teddy Sheringham, who has claimed that Brentford striker Ivan Toney could be perfect for Chelsea this summer, as the Blues continue to be linked withe a possible move for the England star.
The transfer window till has a few days worth of rumours in it and it will give Chelsea more chances to start getting some deals done that will send a statement to the rest of the Premier League for new boss Enzo Maresca.
CHELSEA performed terribly last season and really struggled for goals, with Cole Palmer the only player to break the 20 goal barrier, so it is vital that the Blues board allow Maresca to add a new forward to that attack over the next few months.
The Brentford talisman was strongly linked with a move to Chelsea in the summer and is a man that the Blues could sign, something that Sheringham believes could be perfect for the Blues, He told Prime Casino:
‘At Ivan Toney’s age – he’s 28-years-old – he absolutely shouldn’t be thinking about a move to Saudi. That’s an attractive option for him at the end of his career – he would be wasted playing over there in his prime.
‘I would tell Toney, don’t worry about the wages being offered, you’ll get those opportunities later, stay in the Premier League and score goals in the best division in the world.
‘I’m very surprised that he hasn’t gone anywhere yet. I think he would be the perfect fit for so many clubs in the Premier League. Before Tottenham signed Solanke, I was hoping that we were looking at him.
‘I’ve said this before, I don’t want him to sign for Arsenal, because they’ve got a lot of good players already, but he would be perfect for them. I think he would be perfect for CHELSEA too, even with all the problems in West London.
‘He’s an old-school centre forward that causes defences so many problems. Scoring goals is the most difficult job in football, and he’s got proven pedigree when it comes to hitting the back of the net.
‘The window closes on Friday. Maybe some Premier League clubs are waiting to see if they can pinch him on a reduced fee, but I’d be amazed if he was still at Brentford when the window closes.’
