Chelsea at the moment are being linked with each of Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen as their predominant two targets for his or her new quantity 9 earlier than the top of this switch window on Friday.
It’s very late to attempt to get such large offers finished, however evidently in the intervening time it’s more likely to be one in every of Toney or Osimhen coming in as the brand new Chelsea striker this summer season.
Osimhen is nice and I’d be pleased if Chelsea signed him. However for me, Toney is a greater match and makes extra sense, and listed below are the explanation why:
Hindering Nicolas Jackson: Toney is older and won’t block the progress of Jackson. Additionally, his expertise might assist Jackson develop and he might be taught another components of his sport from Toney.
Expertise and Premier League confirmed: It is a enormous one for me. Toney has baggage of expertise and is that bit older. He’s additionally confirmed enjoying within the PL and you recognize he can combine it with the most important and greatest centre backs on this league.
Hyperlink-up play: I feel Toney could be extra helpful for possession primarily based soccer as a result of he likes to drop in and get entangled with the construct up play, whereas Osimhen is just not too nice on the ball and doesn’t maintain it up as nicely.
Full 9: Toney additionally is aware of the place the web is, is an actual risk within the air, and may be such a harmful goal man and focus and is the entire 9 that Chelsea lack and want so as to add.
That’s my view anyway, I recognize that others won’t agree or have issues. However for me, Toney to Chelsea ought to be a no brainer and ought to be a precedence for the membership in these closing two or three days.
Personally although it’s a win win for me, as a result of I’d be pleased if we signed both Osimhen or Toney.
