An ice-cool finisher and elite ball-striker, Toney\u2019s self-confidence and mentality suggests he would thrive under the pressure of being Chelsea&#8217;s number nine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Toney&#8217;s play style could elevate the goal output from Chelsea&#8217;s wide forwards and the Blues would be getting a target man with an eye for a set piece. As well as scoring six of his seven penalties in the league since the start of 2022\/23, he has also scored the joint-most direct free-kicks in that time, scoring three of his 17 attempts with an impressive conversion rate of 17.6%.<\/p>\n<p>During his last full season in 2022\/23, Toney finished the campaign with the most flick-ons (107), the second most lay-offs (54) and scored the third most goals (20) of any player in the competition, meaning not only will the Blues be getting a goalscorer but also a fantastic link up player which the likes of Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke and
