Ivan Toney’s transfer price tag plummets to ‘super cheap’ figure as Chelsea circle
BRENTFORD are braced for frenzied interest in Ivan Toney following the striker's new "super cheap" valuation.
The Bees could sell the Manchester United and Chelsea target for just £30m-£40m - while the England ace has cheekily named his dream destination.
The fee wanted for the Euro 2024 hopeful has reportedly plummeted from the £80m-£100m touted in January.
That's when Toney returned looking sharp after an eight-month ban.

Plettenberg reckons the Hammers have already "inquired" - while Chelsea and Arsenal are "monitoring him closely".
However, SunSport understands the Gunners have ruled out a move for the striker.
Meanwhile, fans shocked by Toney's much-reduced valuation are predicting a huge fight to land him in the next transfer window.
One said, "That's super cheap wtf" and another was equally astonished as he posted, "Only £30m-£40m?! Wow."
A third wrote: "Man United would be sleeping if they don’t throw everything at Brentford to get him in the summer."
And a Red Devils' supporter urged: "Swap for Rashford I beg."
Meanwhile, Stamford Bridge boss Mauricio Pochettino has been plagued by frontline problems all season.
And one Blues' fan said of Toney: "Chelsea should go for him at that price."
Meanwhile, the powerful poacher had fans wondering if he was joking last month when he revealed his ideal transfer this summer.
He told Sky Sports: “If Brentford were to sell me, they make their money, I’ll move to Madrid, then it’s all good."
The Bees currently sit four points above the relegation zone - with boss Thomas Frank having already admitted he expects to lose Toney in the next transfer window.
