A player valued at £80 million who Chelsea reportedly wants to sign leaves a comment on Reece James’ Instagram post.

Ivan Toney, a forward, has engaged Chelsea’s club captain Reece James on social media.

As rumors about his future continued to circulate, he turned to Instagram to comment on the 23-year-old’s picture.

Toney is anticipated to leave Brentford in January, the same month that he is permitted to play competitive football once again after serving his suspension.

His time playing in England’s top division has demonstrated that he possesses the potential to rank among the top goal scorers in the nation.

After Harry Kane and Erling Haaland’s incredible seasons, he finished the previous season as the third-highest scorer, just behind them.

A player valued at £80 million who Chelsea reportedly wants to sign leaves a comment on Reece James’ Instagram post.

A number of major teams have been linked to a move for the English striker, with Arsenal the other team who is reportedly monitoring the terms of a potential £80 million deal.

Despite continuing to make significant investments in the frontline, Chelsea is once again falling short in terms of goals.

They only added Nicolas Jackson, a known striker who has developed a habit of getting himself booked rather than scoring goals, though.

As a result, there have been rumors that they are looking for a number nine, with Toney seemingly at the top of the list.

The fact that James, a huge figure at Stamford Bridge, and the Brentford player appear to already be close friends could benefit the Blues when transfer season rolls around.

They might also keep an eye on the Victor Osimhen situation at Napoli, where he appears to be very upset about how people have been treating him lately.

More news……

Chelsea is now looking to sign a “phenomenal” forward who could cost £175 million.

Victor Osimhen, a striker for Napoli, was a target for Chelsea during the summer transfer window.

Chelsea reportedly inquired about Victor Osimhen, but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis valued him at £175 million at the time, according to the Daily Mirror.

If reports are to be believed, the Blues’ interest still exists despite the Serie A club’s obvious desire to hold onto their star player.

Osimhen has been elevated to No. 1 for Chelsea, according to a report from FootballTransfers last month.
In the race to sign him, they are the No. 1 target for the upcoming summer transfer window.

He had a fantastic season for Napoli last year, scoring 26 goals in 32 games.

Chelsea’s inquiries

It comes as no surprise to learn that Chelsea questioned Osimhen during the summer.

Osimhen was among the best in the world during the previous campaign, and they needed a new striker after their experiment with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failed.

However, Nicolas Jackson had to do, and the 22-year-old has struggled under Mauricio Pochettino.

Just his second of the year, it came against Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.

In the end, we believe that Chelsea needed to sign a center-forward with more success and experience, like Osimhen, who has been dubbed “phenomenal” by Italian manager Walter Mazzarri.
But in the end, De Laurentiis demanded too much money from the Nigerian.

There appears to be some tension between the player and the club right now after Napoli released a TikTok video mocking Osimhen, so perhaps Chelsea or another team will try to capitalize on that in the upcoming season
