Chelsea are weighing up whether to make an offer for Brentford’s Ivan Toney as they attempt to sign a striker before Friday’s transfer deadline and have held talks with Manchester United over a swap involving Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho.

Toney has emerged as a potential solution for Chelsea after they failed to reach a breakthrough in talks with Napoli over Victor Osimhen.
