Toney had a brilliant last season with Brentford with 21 goals before his ban for a betting breach. Since he returned from an 8 month ban, he has only scored 4 goals, but is still a quality striker.
With a good preseason this summer, the 28-year-old could return to his best level. Chelsea are considered favorites to sign him, but the club is currently facing the need to recover transfer funds.
