Ivan Toney returns to training with Brentford later this month amid widespread links with a move to Chelsea in January, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 27-year-old is currently out of action until 17 September after being suspended from all football-related activity for eight months back in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He cannot play until 17 January, but Chelsea are nonetheless interested in bringing the England international to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed there was no chance of Toney moving during the summer window while the ban was ongoing, but a January move is a real possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite signing Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku over the off-season, Chelsea are keen to add a prolific striker to their forward ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armando Broja, who is returning from a serious knee injury, remains an option for the Blues and has been praised heavily by manager Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toney was banned by the FA after admitting 232 breaches of the organisation’s betting rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was also fined \u00a350,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Football Insider <\/strong>revealed last month (27 August) that Tottenham also have a strong interest in the banned Brentford striker.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toney managed 21 goals and five assists in 35 games across all competitions last season \u2013 including a best-ever return of 20 strikes in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Peterborough striker, who earns a\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0wage of \u00a320,000-a-week, is out of contract in June 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is idolised at Brentford after helping the club to promotion to the Premier League with 33 strikes across all competitions in the 2020-21 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toney also managed 14 goals and six assists across all competitions in the 2021-22 season – his first in the top flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
