However, Chelsea’s willingness to spend big might give them an advantage, as Tottenham’s valuation seems to fall short. Despite Toney’s impressive goal-scoring record, his lack of experience could pose a risk for the teams pursuing him, particularly as they strive for European qualification.
Reports suggest that Chelsea is considering Toney as a potential solution to their goal-scoring needs, even though he exceeds their usual age requirements. The club is seemingly willing to bend their rules in order to bring in Toney’s goals and experience. This move by Chelsea could complicate matters for Tottenham as the battle for Toney heats up this summer. Throughout his career, Toney has consistently scored goals, including 20 in the Premier League last season, which places him among the top scorers in the division, behind only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
Since his loan spell in League One in 2016/17, Toney has consistently hit double figures in league goals. He performed prolifically at Peterborough United before joining Brentford, where he has scored 72 goals in 138 games. The competition for Toney’s signature is expected to be intense, with his representatives working to secure him a new club. This may lead to increased speculation and transfer activity, as various clubs pursue Toney’s goal-scoring prowess and experience.
