Three ways Chelsea could line up with Ivan Toney and Jadon Sancho including gung-ho XI with summer signings snubbed
CHELSEA could line up in a bold new way if they complete deals for Ivan Toney and Jadon Sancho before deadline day.
The Blues have already bolstered their ranks with seven new first-team signings this summer.

Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has been joined by defenders Renato Veiga and Tosin Adarabioyo.
While midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has come in with attackers Pedro Neto, Joao Felix and Marc Guiu.
However, Chelsea could be set to add two more forwards before Friday’s window slams shut.
Brentford striker Toney and United winger Sancho are both top targets for Enzo Maresca over the next few days.
And should they come to Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will have even more options in their push for a top four return.
The Blues were impressive in Sunday’s 6-2 win at Wolves.
That team is likely to continue in the next Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
But if Toney is signed, he could replace Nicolas Jackson as Chelsea’s new first-choice striker.

While Sancho would be a shoe-in for the struggling Mykhailo Mudryk.
A more bold approach could see Maresca shuffle his pack entirely, with the Blues boasting incredible squad depth.

Pushing a full-back into midfield, Chelsea could squeeze Sancho and Toney into a forward line also boasting Neto, Christopher Nkunku and star man Cole Palmer.
Finally, should the Blues find themselves up against it and needing a goal, Maresca’s options could result in an all-out attacking team on the pitch.
That may see one of the holding midfielders replaced with a second striker, pairing Toney and Jackson together.
While Sancho would be expected to hold a wide position as the likes of Felix join in the antics.
Chelsea will now prepare for tomorrow’s Europa Conference League qualifier against Servette in Switzerland.
The Blues won last week’s first leg at Stamford Bridge 2-0 thanks to goals from Nkunku and Madueke.
And victory will seal their spot in Europe as Chelsea look to become the first team to win every single continental trophy.
