A move for the Brentford striker was highly touted for Mikel Arteta’s team prior to the January transfer deadline.
The Gunners were ultimately unable to finance a deal for the 27-year-old due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) limits.
But Arteta still regards Toney as a major target and could make a bid for him during the summer transfer window, when the Gunners are looking to add a striker to their squad.
The Emirates Stadium is being considered as a possible destination for Toney, as Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah haven’t been Arsenal’s most productive players this season.
Robbie Mustoe, on the other hand, believes the Englishman would be an excellent addition to Chelsea and anticipates the striker moving to Stamford Bridge.
During an appearance on The 2 Robbies Podcast, Mustoe outlined why he believes Toney will join Chelsea.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are eager to add a striker to their squads this summer, and both have been linked with deals for Toney and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
Without European football, attracting a player like Toney to Stamford Bridge could be difficult, especially if Arsenal becomes more keen.
Toney can benefit from Arteta’s team’s stable atmosphere, which has grown and has the potential to win the league title shortly. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s instability surrounding manager Mauricio Pochettino and lackluster results may deter the England international striker.
