Ivan Toney’s potential switch to Chelsea could be in jeopardy as Manchester United loom with a shock eleventh-hour bid.
Brentford are reportedly planning to offload Toney by Friday, sparking interest from top-flight English clubs and sides in Saudi Arabia. Despite their massive summer outlay, the Stamford Bridge squad are weighing up a bid for Toney, convinced they can nab him on the cheap from the Bees.
Toney has one year remaining on his Brentford deal, signalling this summer as the prime opportunity for the Bees to rake in some cash.
With Brentford eyeing around £40million for their star man slashed dramatically from the £100m+ they were holding out for in January Chelsea reckon they’re in with a chance, reports the Express.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing for Toney’s signature. According to The Evening Standard, United have swooped in late and are chatting up the wantaway frontman, though no official bids have been lodged just yet.
