“Tottenham Faces Setback as €52M Target Prefers Chelsea Move
Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly interested in signing Ivan Toney before the summer transfer window, a move that aligns with ongoing speculation over the past few months. Toney, who has only a year left on his contract, is a potential acquisition for Spurs.
However, Chelsea appears to be in a stronger position to secure the England international’s services, potentially overtaking their London rivals.
Chelsea’s need for a reliable number nine is pressing following challenging seasons at Stamford Bridge.
The club’s primary focus this summer is on strengthening their attacking options, with Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku being key priorities.
Despite their interest in Victor Osimhen, Chelsea is likely to be priced out of a deal for the Napoli star, redirecting their attention to Toney as a more feasible option.
From Toney’s perspective, Chelsea is a more attractive destination compared to Tottenham. The publication notes that Brentford, Toney’s current club, is asking for £50 million for their star striker.
Chelsea views this asking price as reasonable and sees Toney as an ‘attainable signing’ within this price range.
In summary, while Tottenham is keen on Toney, Chelsea is poised to leverage their position to secure the player, offering a significant setback to Spurs’ transfer ambitions.”
