'Actually has it all': Scott Minto now says he wants to see £80m player in Chelsea shirt
Former Chelsea defender Scott Minto says he would love to see Brentford striker Ivan Toney in blue.
Ivan Toney has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea and Minto, speaking on talkSPORT, has suggested that the 27-year-old is the complete centre-forward.
He really impressed for Brentford last season, scoring 20 goals in 33 Premier League appearances.
According to the Evening Standard, both Chelsea and Arsenal are interested in Toney but could have to pay £80m for his signature in January.
Ivan Toney has everything
Minto thinks Toney is the complete package and told talkSPORT’s Jason Cundy that he would be delighted if the England international joined Chelsea.
“Ivan Toney, for me, actually has it all,” Minto said. “So I’m really disappointed that, you know, with what happened, he’s not been able to play. And how will he do? Will one of the big boys come in in January?
“We’ll have to wait and see. I don’t know about you, but I’d love to see him in a Chelsea shirt.”
When does Ivan Toney’s contract expire?
Toney is contracted to Brentford until 2025, so if the Bees cannot get him to sign a new deal soon, then they are definitely going to have to consider a sale, if they are not already.
And given that the former Peterborough man is attracting interest from the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal, we think it is unlikely that he will commit his future to Thomas Frank’s side.
It would be good news for the Blues, who look like they could do with an experienced No.9 coming in.
Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja are still quite young and the former has looked really raw in front of goal at times this season.
In total, the 22-year-old has scored two goals in seven Premier League appearances. If Chelsea want to finish in the top four, they are probably going to need a little bit more firepower than that.
