    Head coach Carlos Corberan wants to keep hold of Fellows, but has had his hands tied in the transfer market all summer.

    Chelsea are confident they can match that evaluation for Toney – who has one year left on his Brentford contract and has been left out of their opening two Prem games this term.

    However, Toney would have to accept a significantly lower wage packet than the one being offered by Al Ahli to make the switch to Stamford Bridge.

    Under American owner Todd Boehly, Chelsea have a strict new wage structure, with the average weekly deal for new signings between £60k and £70k with incentivised bonuses.
