Man Utd & Chelsea 'Battle' For £80m Striker

Man Utd & Chelsea 'Battle' For £80m Striker

Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly set to battle it out for the signing of a striker, who is valued around £80million.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney is currently sidelined due to lengthy ban in relation to breaching betting regulations, which will only see him return in January 2024.

The eight-month ban has hindered Toney's chances of securing a big move in the current transfer window after scoring 19 goals in the Premier League for Brentford last season.

However, all is not lost for the 27-year-old as the Daily Mail have reported that interest has been pouring in from other clubs ahead of the transfer deadline on Thursday.

It is believed that Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are among the Premier League teams interested in signing the Brentford star.

While transfer window slams shut this week, it is being reported the Premier League giants would be ready to make a move for Toney in the January transfer window.

The report adds that teams will need splash the cash as Brentford value the England international at around £80million. 

Man United have already signed Rasmus Hojlund while Chelsea and Spurs are still without recognised number nines.

Toney also recently changed representatives as he has now joined the likes of Jack Grealish, Ben Chilwell, Kalvin Phillips and Luke Shaw at CAA Stellar.
