To nobody’s surprise, Chelsea are expected to be one of the big talking points during the last few days of the summer transfer window.
Chelsea have stolen the headlines with the players they have signed, want to let go or have sold.
Raheem Sterling is expected to leave Chelsea, with Enzo Maresca making it clear he wants a certain type of forward player.
In terms of wide players, the London club are bulked up, with Chelsea signing Pedro Neto from Wolves to challenge the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix and Cole Palmer, who are all able to deploy those roles.
But that bonafide striker is still much-wanted at Stamford Bridge, even though Nicolas Jackson is leading the line and he scored during the thumping win at Wolves.
Victor Osimhen continues to get linked with Chelsea, but he isn’t the man Michael Dawson thinks they should be signing.
In truth, if you asked the Chelsea fans, then he would be their dream purchase full stop, but with days left until the window, he is still a Napoli player and he hasn’t found a new club.
Another player, who has 12 months remaining on his contract, and is expected to leave is Ivan Toney.
Dawson explained how ‘I am a big fan’ of the Brentford hitman and he is ‘surprised’ he hasn’t found a new club yet.
The ‘remarkable’ Toney has also been linked with Arsenal, but as of yet, no-one seems to be putting the money down on the table for his services.
Dawson joked how Chelsea ‘sign everyone’, but they are yet to push and bring in a player like Toney with the clock ticking, as he told Sky Sports News.
Ivan Toney at Chelsea
“I would be surprised (if Toney is still a Brentford player by the end of the window),” said Dawson. “When he got left out last week, that was a surprise to me with the new signing Thiago being out for a long period. Brentford are trying to get money as he is going into his final year.
“I am a massive fan of Ivan Toney. I can’t believe another Premier League club hasn’t come in to get him. The Chelsea’s. Chelsea sign everyone.
“You are getting goals. Guaranteed in a Brentford team – 12 months ago, people were talking about him being an £80 million player. I am disappointed. There are a lack of centre-forwards and goalscorers out there.”
Ivan Toney transfer fee
Sources have told HITC that Brentford aren’t moving from their £50 million transfer fee for Toney, despite the risk that they can lose him for nothing next summer.
Given that Saudi Arabia have also been mentioned, then it isn’t a surprise, but something has got to give sooner rather than later.

Toney is at the peak of his powers and is capable of hitting the 20-goal mark, with last season’s ban causing havoc to his season.
Despite playing very little, and scoring only four goals, he was still selected to play for England at Euro 2024.
