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.
