TOP STORY: Potter prefers others over Ronaldo
Chelsea remain in the market for a striker, but it looks unlikely that player will be Cristiano Ronaldo, according CBS’s Ben Jacobs.
Club owner Todd Boehly remains keen on the 37-year-old Manchester United star, but he is willing to trust the call of Graham Potter, who has multiple players who he would prefer to sign instead of him.
One of those is AC Milan starlet Rafael Leao, who the Blues were previously linked with at the end of the summer transfer window. While it is unclear whether they will be able to reach an agreement with the Serie A champions for him, it is reported that Potter would also prioritise moves for Canada international Jonathan David and Brentford‘s Ivan Toney over Ronaldo.
Toney, 26, has scored eight Premier League goals this season, while 22-year-old David has contributed to 12 goals in 12 games for Lille in Ligue 1.
