Ivan Toney Urged to Join Chelsea by Daniel Sturridge
Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has advised Ivan Toney to consider joining Chelsea instead of Arsenal or Tottenham. Sturridge believes that Toney’s playing style would be best suited for Stamford Bridge.
Toney’s Availability and Interest from Clubs
Toney will be eligible to play again from January 17th after serving a ban for betting breaches. Several clubs have shown interest in signing the Brentford star.
Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham in the Market for a Striker
Both Chelsea and Arsenal are actively searching for a new striker. Tottenham, on the other hand, still needs to find a direct replacement for Harry Kane. Son Heung-min has been performing well in a center forward role.
Manchester United is also monitoring Toney as they look to bring in a more experienced option to support summer signing Rasmus Hojlund.
Sturridge’s Recommendation
Sturridge, who has played for Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool, believes that Toney would thrive at Chelsea. He also thinks that Spurs could benefit from signing him. Sturridge considers Toney a top striker who deserves a big opportunity.
Carragher’s Opinion on Arsenal’s Potential Signing
Jamie Carragher, alongside Sturridge during coverage of Chelsea’s win over Tottenham, believes that Arsenal should not miss the chance to sign Toney in January if they want to compete with Manchester City. Carragher acknowledges that Toney is a different type of striker and is a huge fan of his. However, he also highlights the pressure and scrutiny that comes with playing for a big club like Arsenal.
Toney’s Performance and Brentford’s Asking Price
Toney scored 20 Premier League goals last season. Reports suggest that Brentford’s asking price for him ranges from £80 million to £100 million.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank remains confident that Toney will stay at the club beyond the January transfer window.
