Chelsea's No.1 striker target! £80m-rated Ivan Toney rises to top of Blues' shortlist amid PSG interest in Victor Osimhen

Chelsea look set to be in the market for a striker once again this summer and have long admired Brentford frontman Toney. The Sun notes that the Bees will stand firm on their £80 million ($101m) valuation, although that doesn't look likely to deter the Blues. The report notes that Chelsea have made Toney their prime target, especially considering striker movements elsewhere in Europe.

It seems Kylian Mbappe's proposed move to Real Madrid will have a knock-on effect in the summer market. PSG will be naturally be looking for a replacement up top and The Sun notes that Osimhen has emerged as their number one target. The capital club would be more than capable of paying the Nigerian's reported €130m (£112m/$141m) release clause, especially after offloading Mbappe's wages.

According to the report, it is Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino who is pushing for the move. The Argentine thinks Toney can take his side "to the next level" and has instructed the club's owners to go all out for the Brentford man.

Chelsea's interest may sound alarm bells in north London, as Arsenal have also registered their interest in the England international in the past. The Gunners will, however, have the advantage of offering Toney European football - something which 10th-placed Chelsea will only achieve if they win either the Carabao or FA Cup this term.
