Jones Reveals Chelsea’s Potential Osimhen Replacement

Jones Names Toney as Potential Osimhen Alternative

Transfer expert Dean Jones has suggested that Ivan Toney could be a viable alternative for Chelsea if they fail to secure Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

The Brentford striker has attracted interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, but Jones believes a move to a top Premier League club would be more appealing for the England international. 

With Arsenal and Tottenham ruling out a move, Chelsea emerges as a potential destination for Toney, especially if they are unable to land Osimhen. The Blues have closely monitored Toney’s progress throughout the season and could see him as a valuable addition to their squad.
