Ivan Toney would be 'perfect' signing for two Premier League clubs claims Teddy Sheringham

Ivan Toney's future still remains uncertain, but there has been another twist in the tale. 

It has been reported that Chelsea have now made a move to sign the Brentford striker despite there being links to clubs in Saudi Arabia. 

Toney has not been a part of Brentford's two matchday squads for their games against Crystal Palace and Liverpool which added fuel to the fire when it came to his the future at the club. 

Former Premier League striker Teddy Sheringham recently gave his thoughts on which team he believes would benefit from his services and he instead named two Premier League clubs which could benefit from signing the 28-year-old. 

"At Ivan Toney’s age - he’s 28-years-old - he absolutely shouldn’t be thinking about a move to Saudi. That’s an attractive option for him at the end of his career - he would be wasted playing over there in his prime," Sheringham told Prime Casino. 

"I would tell Toney, don’t worry about the wages being offered, you’ll get those opportunities later, stay in the Premier League and score goals in the best division in the world. I'm very surprised that he hasn't gone anywhere yet. I think he would be the perfect fit for so many clubs in the Premier League. Before Tottenham signed Solanke, I was hoping that we were looking at him.

"I’ve said this before, I don’t want him to sign for Arsenal, because they’ve got a lot of good players already, but he would be perfect for them. I think he would be perfect for Chelsea too, even with all the problems in West London.

"He’s an old-school centre forward that causes defences so many problems. Scoring goals is the most difficult job in football, and he’s got proven pedigree when it comes to hitting the back of the net.

"The window closes on Friday. Maybe some Premier League clubs are waiting to see if they can pinch him on a reduced fee, but I’d be amazed if he was still at Brentford when the window closes."
