‘Temptation’: TalkSPORT pundit urges £80m striker not to join Chelsea in January
Pundit Dean Saunders has urged one striker to not actually make the move to join Chelsea when the transfer window opens.
He told TalkSPORT that Ivan Toney should choose to stay at Brentford in January, and get back to his best ahead of the end of the campaign.
Toney has been strongly linked with a move away from the mid-table side when the window opens, as he gets back to action following his ban from football.
Chelsea have been one of the sides strongest linked with a move for the England international, with a price tag of £80m being rumoured as required for him to leave.
It has not been a secret that the Blues are keen to bring a striker in next month if possible, although they are looking for an elite one to bring in.
Saunders though has claimed that he thinks Toney would be better suited to staying at Brentford for the time being.

He said: “I think he should get back playing. The temptation if Arsenal or Chelsea are sniffing round must be there, as he may never get another chance to go to a big club like that but I think he owes Brentford who have stuck by him and I think he should get out there and give six months to Brentford and then move in the summer, get himself playing again.
“You never lose your eye for a goal. The temptation is there but I would just get back playing, get my head down, bang some goals in and it’ll still be there in the summer because everyone needs someone who can score 20 goals and he looks like a rare animal who can.”
Chelsea gave been linked to a number of top strikers, with Victor Osimhen being another name that is frequently mentioned in conversations when it comes to big signings at Stamford Bridge.
