Chelsea frontrunners to sign Ivan Toney

Chelsea are at the head of the queue to sign the Brentford star Ivan Toney.

According to Team Talk, the Blues may have the upper hand in the pursuit of the 27-year-old striker after recent developments in the chase.

Arsenal were said to be interested in the England international, but the Gunners are not ready to make an immediate move for the frontman.

The north Londoners did spend around £60 million on new players last January, but this time, they are a bit cautious.

Brentford have put a £100 million price tag on the Englishman, but interested clubs could negotiate that down to a more reasonable amount.

Chelsea have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign him. If Arsenal confirm their withdrawal from the race.
