Boss makes transfer statement as Chelsea ready to snap up £30m striker!
Chelsea target Ivan Toney was left out of the Brentford squad for their Premier League curtain-raiser against Crystal Palace ahead of a potential move away from the club by the end of the transfer window.
With all the money that CHELSEA have spent this season – with all the quality that Enzo Maresca has in his attack – the loss to Man City at the weekend showed that the club are lacking a striker that can bang in the goals.
Ivan Toney is a player that has been linked with a move to Chelsea all summer long – but so far no move has been made as the Blues board continue to sign players for the future, rather than players that will make an immediate impact.
However – that has not stopped speculation that Chelsea are still interested in a deal for Toney – and speculation intensified at the weekend after Ivan Toney was dropped from that Brentford squad because of all the transfer rumours.
Speaking on Toney’s absence, Thomas Frank said before the game: “There’s a lot of things going on with Ivan, there’s some transfer interest. Because of all that, we decided not to involve him in the squad.
“It’s the classic one – I couldn’t give too much the day before. He’s been a fantastic player for us, but we showed last year especially that we can deal without him.
When asked if this is the end of Ivan Toney in a Brentford shirt, he added: “Who knows? There’s interest, but there’s nothing close.”

Toney is a quality striker that should be playing for one of the big Premier League sides – if CHELSEA manage to bring him into the side – he would be a great signing for the club, and after seeing the clubs performance against Man City – a player that they need.
