West Ham United are now reportedly leading the race to sign Chelsea target Ivan Toney.
There has been a major development in the race for Ivan Toney, with West Ham United reportedly the favourites despite interest from Chelsea, according to Football Insider.
The report claims that the Irons want “to finally address their lack of depth up front and view Toney as their top target,” and now David Moyes’ side are in a “pole position” to land the “statement” transfer from Brentford.
Pete O’Rourke, Football Insider transfer correspondent, believes there is a “good chance” West Ham would sign the England international ahead of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and other teams.
O’Rourke told the Inside Track podcast: “There’s now a good chance that Ivan Toney could end up at West Ham. It would be a statement signing.
“We know they have been lacking a number nine for a couple of seasons now.
“There’s a lot of talk about Arsenal being interested in Toney but my understanding is that that their interest has cooled and they’re looking at other targets.”
