Chelsea are having a lot of problems, especially in scoring, so coach Mauricio Pochettino is considering buying Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who is serving a long-term suspension.

Despite the addition of 3 rookie strikers Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, and Cole Palmer from Leipzig, Villarreal, and Man City respectively, Chelsea still have to plan to strengthen the attack. Because Palmer only came at the end of the summer market, Nkunku was injured a few days before the new season started and returned in November this year, Jackson started all four first rounds of the Premier League 2023/24 but only scored 1 table.

Therefore, according to the Evening Standard, with only five goals scored in four games, Pochettino is considering adding another striker next winter and Toney is the top target. The England striker is currently banned for eight months after admitting 232 violations of FA betting rules in May. By January 2024, Toney will complete his sentence and can play again.

However, if they want to sign the 27-year-old England international, Chelsea must pay a large sum of money. Because the leader of the Bees valued Toney at up to 80 million pounds. It is unknown after spending more than 1 billion pounds under new boss Todd Boehly, whether the Blues leadership will continue to “throw money” with the Toney case.

Last season, Toney scored 20 goals in the English Premier League (ranked 3rd on the list of top scorers after Erling Haaland – 36 goals and Harry Kane – 30 goals), making a great contribution to helping the Bees reach 9th place overall. Chelsea is in dire need of a goalscorer like Toney to improve their scoring problem. The Blues are lacking a true striker.
