Ivan Toney would be a ‘fantastic’ signing for the Blues, claims former Tottenham striker Teddy Sheringham.
The transfer window is no officially open and it will give the likes of Chelsea a massive chance 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 January, though a move for the England international failed to materialise, as he wanted to stay at Brentford and get back to his best after spending so much time out of the game.
However – There remains a strong possibility the ex-Peterborough United stat will be sold this transfer window, offering the Blues a possible second chance at a deal, which would likely cost them £60 million to wrap up.
Now amid all the transfer speculation and rumours – Sheringham has urged Chelsea to sign the striker – he told Genting Casinos: “I think Ivan Toney would be a fantastic signing for Chelsea or anyone in London. Any one of those clubs would have him, he is a fantastic player who would enhance any of those sides I’ve just mentioned.
“I don’t know what’s happened to his form, but I think a player of his stature can give a lot to a football team, he is a leader who knows his position and is coming into the prime of his career. I think he would be a great asset.”
CHELSEA know that signing Toney would bring a different aspect to that attack for the side – he is the type of player that could make a real difference, and because he did not score too many goals last season, they could get him for a bargain.
