Chelsea have now reportedly submitted an offer to sign Brentford Striker Ivan Toney this summer
Chelsea opted to let Romelu Lukaku leave the club and head back to Italian football for the next 12 months – with many believing that he will not be returning from Inter Milan next summer
The Blues then decided that Timo Werner would also be allowed to depart the club and after a few weeks of talks – the German star opted to make the move back to the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig
ChelseaFC have so many attacking options – but they do not have that forward that will hold the ball up – that will win things in the air – that will offer the attack something different – and that is why Toney has been linked with the club
Brentford have slapped a £40million price tag on their star man this summer knowing that all the big clubs are eyeing up a potential deal – especially as many believe he would be a 20-goal a season hitman if he made the step up.
Earlier reports on The Mirror says that Chelsea have made contact with Brentford regarding a possible deal for Toney
Now it has been claimed that ChelseaFC have actually submitted an offer for Toney worth around the £40 million mark – the same money that Brentford are looking for

Toney had a very good season for Brentford last season and really proved that he is ready to play for one of the big clubs in the Premier League
If ChelseaFC manages to sign the player over the next few seasons – he is the perfect player for the side and a star that could become the next Didier Drogba
£40 million would be a real bargain for the man that is for sure.
