Transfer News: Chelsea battle Manchester United for Ivan Toney (The Hard Tackle)

Chelsea are reportedly set to rival Manchester United in the race to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney before the transfer window closes.

Manchester United got a good look at the 26-year-old when they faced Brentford in the Premier League last weekend and were hammered 4-0, with Toney grabbing a couple of assists. Apart from Chelsea and Manchester United, Everton are also interested in Toney as cover and competition for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is out with an injury. However, in case there are any roadblocks in pursuit of the former Arsenal captain, the Blues are preparing for contingencies and have identified Toney as an alternative to the 33-year-old hitman. Since joining Brentford from Peterborough United in 2020, Toney has grown leaps and bounds and was one of the Bees’ best performers as they achieved promotion to the Premier League last season. The move has left the Blues with Armando Broja as the only natural striker in the squad, something that manager Thomas Tuchel is intent on addressing before the window closes. But Chelsea and Manchester United have now emerged as suitors for Toney.

His price tag is also likely to be bumped up due to how late in the transfer window it is and their lack of time to find a replacement.

Everton and Chelsea are also considering moves for Toney, with the latter having the 26-year-old as an alternative target if they fail to secure the signature of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The forward has scored two and assisted two in three [Premier League](/latest/premier-league) appearances so far this season and is attracting several suitors. With Cristiano Ronaldo still pushing to leave United this summer, Erik ten Hag is in desperate need of recruits in the final third. However, they aren’t alone in being keen admirers of the former Newcastle star.

Brentford could soon lose a major asset, as Chelsea have reportedly joined Manchester United in terms of interest in Ivan Toney.

They have seen the back of Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku this window, leaving their stocks up top low. Indeed, Chelsea seems a good move for the Englishman. From what he showed in the top flight last season, he is ready to make that step. Toney has contributed to four goals in three Premier League games so far, against Leicester City, Manchester United and Fulham. He bagged 12 goals and provided five assists, as the Bees finished in 13th place. Toney has been one of Brentford’s most crucial players over the past few seasons.

My understanding is that, at the moment, Chelsea’s priority is Wesley Fofana. Toney would also be a good option for Man Utd at the moment, with the Red Devils overly reliant on an ageing Cristiano Ronaldo for goals last season, with other attackers like Marcus Rashford currently out of form. It seems pretty clear that the 26-year-old could be good enough to play for a big six side, and it will be interesting to see if a move materialises for him in the weeks ahead.

It is still unclear if Ronaldo would stay or leave Manchester United this summer and under these circumstances, a player like Toney might just be the one that they need. According to Mirror Football, Brentford expect a few bids to come in for the player before the transfer window closes. Despite getting close to signing Aubameyang, Toney has attracted Chelsea's interest and might just become a new addition to their attack this summer.

With regards to his qualities, the former Peterborough United striker is a physically strong player, who has good speed and a sense of space. When the chance arrives, he more or less hits the target or scores. The 26-year-old played a key role in the Bees securing promotion to the top flight last season. So, we can see why the three clubs are interested in him.

The towering forward has an outside chance of an England call-up this year ahead of the World Cup and will want to ensure that he is at his very best for the next few months. The Reds aren’t in the market for a forward following the arrival of Darwin Nunez, though Toney could find himself playing Champions League football if Chelsea do arrive with an offer for the 26-year-old. The striker has scored two and assisted two in his opening three matches of the season, and his impressive form is catching the eye.

Chelsea are looking to rival Manchester United for the signing of Brentford's Ivan Toney despite their interest in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The clock is ticking for Tuchel to get hold of a top goalscorer this window so a move needs to be made soon. The Englishman has got off to a flying start this season and is coming off the back of a 12 goal Premier League campaign last year. While he is a big fan of the Albanian striker who impressed at Southampton last season, it would be unlikely to see him take lead role for the Blues. It has not quite had the success he would have hoped for though, Havertz has struggled and failed to score in the first three games. The summer transfer window is drawing closer to an end and the Blues are yet to acquire a leading number nine. Chelsea could swoop in and rival Manchester United for the signing of Brentford forward Ivan Toney, according to reports.

Aleksandar Mitrovic v Ivan Toney: who came out on top in the battle ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Both scored in Fulham's 3-2 victory over Brentford with the former team-mates eyeing up a season-long duel in the top flight.

Jay Stansfield, making a first Fulham start, saw his shot deflect off Ben Mee and come back off the bar for De Cordova-Reid to stab in from almost on the line. Fulham had been completely dominant but were caught out by a clever Bees corner in the 44th minute. Toney saw another goal ruled out for offside, this time without debate, before bringing Brentford deservedly level in the 71st minute. "We have our offensive mindset and I want to keep this." Toney's finishing was top-quality and he was denied the match ball only by two cases of Var intervention. It had to be a goal but Mitrovic could not beat goalkeeper David Raya. The forward was a different animal and so were visitors. Mitrovic's winner was trademark Mitrovic, a powerful header that gave the goalkeeper no chance. Mitrovic bested Toney last season when he smashed the Brentford man's previous record for the most goals in a Championship season. "We believe in ourselves and our philosophy," said Silva, whose side have also drawn with Liverpool and Wolves. Toney ended last season with 12 Premier League goals, plus two more in the cups. "My idol was Shearer and I am probably his idol."
