As Chelsea prepare for the largest sport of their season to date this night within the quarter last of the League Cup, many ideas now can even be on the January switch window to assist increase their season.
As we all know, Chelsea have been potential new strikers for subsequent month, however they seem like few and much between.
In addition to that although, among the targets being linked are simply not gettable subsequent month.
Victor Osimhen appears to be like not possible till the summer time, and Viktor Gyokeres has a launch clause value over £85m and can be comparatively unproven.
So for me that solely leaves one choice, and he IS gettable subsequent month – Ivan Toney of Brentford.
Don’t take my phrase for it that he’s gettable, take the phrase of the membership’s technical director, Lee Dykes.
“I’m so excited for Ivan to return again as a result of I see him on the market in coaching and he’s some participant; it appears to be like like he’s by no means been away,” Dykes instructed the membership web site.
“There’s an actual ambition from him and I can see in his eyes that he’s going to be higher than he’s ever been; I actually consider that would be the case.
“Sure, there can be a number of curiosity in Ivan in January. Naturally, there needs to be. He was the third-highest Premier League goalscorer final season – one among them [Harry Kane] has gone to Germany now, so he’s up there as among the best strikers within the division. He’s within the high 5 on the earth, for my part.
“So there needs to be curiosity, and possibly the time comes very shortly that Ivan strikes on to a different membership. However they should pay an honest switch payment to accumulate his providers as a result of he’s some expertise.”
I imply, he’s actually placing Toney on the switch market subsequent month with these feedback. He’s nicely and really out there, and Sykes is actually making an attempt to drum up curiosity and begin a bidding warfare for his participant.
Toney for me has all the time been my first alternative choice purely as a result of he has Premier League expertise, has been a membership captain, is an England worldwide, and is likely one of the solely all spherical true quantity 9’s out there proper now.
If I used to be Chelsea, I’d be straight on the cellphone to Dykes now asking what it could take to get Toney over to Stamford Bridge subsequent month.
He’s every thing Chelsea wants proper now, and we needs to be throughout it.
