Chelsea will not pay an exorbitant fee for English forward this summer.
The West London giants have been heavily linked with Brentford striker Ivan Toney who has been a prime target for several Premier League clubs.
The 27-year-old striker would be a huge upgrade to current striking options Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku who arrived last summer.
The English forward will be a prime target for several Premier League clubs and Arsenal are reportedly leading the chase for the 27-year-old striker.
His betting ban was uplifted in January and Toney will be at the centre of a transfer debacle in the summer window.
Chelsea will be in the market for a new striker and has made Toney one of their top targets.
Even Brentford manager Thomas Frank has admitted that the Englishman would be on the move this summer.
Romano said: “Another story that could be relevant for Chelsea, who want to sign a striker this summer, and also for Arsenal, is that Thomas Frank has spoken publicly about Ivan Toney being likely to leave at the end of this season.
“He’ll have just a year left on his contract, so his price tag will likely be lower than the £100m it would have cost to sign him in January.”
