Independent: Brentford demand astronomical fee to sell Ivan Toney in January (reliability: 4 stars)

Chelsea will have to spend a fortune if they want to sign Ivan Toney this month, according to the Independent.

Brentford have set a price of £100 million for the striker in the January transfer window amid interest from the Blues and Arsenal.

Toney has only just returned to football now that his 8-month gambling ban has expires, scoring a hat-trick for Brentford B in his first game back.

With the 27-year-old having just 18 months left on his contract, there's an understanding that The Bees will be more open to a deal at the end of the 2023/24 season.
