Chelsea & Arsenal handed big boost in signing Ivan Toney

Chelsea and Arsenal have been handed a big boost in signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney at the end of the campaign.

The England international has been touted to secure a big challenge this summer and he has been linked with many clubs.

The Blues and Gunners are among his main admirers and they have now been handed an incentive with the latest report.

Florian Plettenberg claims that the Bees have lowered their demands for their striker and he could be available for £40m.

The news is a big plus for the Blues and Gunners, who are determined to land a marquee centre-forward in the summer.

Chelsea currently have Nicolas Jackson up front, but he has been hugely inconsistent over the course of the campaign.

Christopher Nkunku also promised plenty on his arrival, but the Frenchman has been sidelined for almost the entire season.

Arsenal have Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, but neither have managed to stake a regular claim for the number nine position.
