Man Utd and Chelsea ‘consider shock Ivan Toney loan transfer as Brentford star enters last year of contract’

Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham, Chelsea and United are among the clubs that have already expressed an interest.

However, they have all been put off by his £60million price tag.

Brentford are still holding out for that figure, but the Blues and Man Utd could test the waters by proposing a loan.

The Independent claims both clubs could suggest a loan deal with an obligation to buy late in the window.

Toney’s contract with Brentford is set to expire next summer and he currently has no willingness to extend.

Therefore, Brentford will have to sell him within the next few weeks or in January if they want to earn any money for him.

Man Utd have already signed a striker this summer.
