3 Reasons why Chelsea will sign Ivan Toney instead of Victor Osimhen

The board at Chelsea Football Club looks like they might be keen on getting Ivan Toney from Brentford across the line before the end of the 2024 summer transfer window.

The Blues are torn between going for Victor Osimhen from Napoli who is also a proven goal scorer but the wage structure of the Nigerian has been a stumbling block for every club that has shown interest in the player. On the other hand, they could be going for Ivan Toney who is less expensive and is also a proven goal scorer who understands the league.

The English man impressive goal-scoring record and dominant aerial presence make him an attractive solution. His ability to hold up the ball, create chances for others, and finish opportunities with precision aligns with Chelsea's desire for a reliable and potent center-forward.

Here are the three reasons why Chelsea will sign Ivan Toney instead of Osimhen

(1) Toney's Premier League experience, work rate, and adaptability to different systems under Thomas Frank at Brentford suggest he can seamlessly integrate into Enzo Maresca's Chelsea setup. As the Blues aim to revitalize their attack and challenge for silverware, Ivan Toney's signing could prove as the missing link in the team , also providing a much-needed boost to their striking options.

(2) The transfer fee will also be reasonable for Chelsea looking that he has just one year left on his contract at Brentford. He has also been left out of the Bees team so far this season which gives a green light to the Blues as a possible transfer.

(3) Toney's wage is another reason that Chelsea will be looking at instead of going for Osimhen. Chelsea have made their stand known since the start of this season that they won't be paying an exorbitant amount for any player, which means the Englishman fits the bill of the kind of player that they are looking for: a player with plenty of goals inside of him that comes at a cheaper rate.

However, whoever Chelsea decides to sign between both players it will be a win for the club because they are proven goal scorers and it will be a good addition to Nicolas Jackson.
