DEAL COMPLETED: Chelsea finally highjacked Arsenal transfer target as player is now in Chelsea undergoing medical; announcement soon.

Chelsea have made a late bid to sign Ivan Toney, potentially disrupting his expected move to Saudi club Al-Ahli. Toney has been a top target for Brentford, but Chelsea's interest has thrown a spanner in the works. The Blues see Toney as a more affordable alternative to Victor Osimhen, and are willing to make an official move if the price and wages are reasonable.

Toney's impressive goal-scoring record in the Championship has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, and Chelsea are keen to add him to their squad. However, the finances involved in the deal will play a crucial role in its success. Toney could earn up to £400,000 per week in Saudi Arabia, a price Chelsea are unlikely to match. Nevertheless, Chelsea are hopeful of convincing Toney to join them, and are preparing an offer that meets his expectations.

The transfer window is nearing its end, and Chelsea need to act fast to secure Toney's signature. With other clubs also interested, the race to sign Toney is heating up, and only time will tell if Chelsea can pull off a stunning coup.
