Even though it is just their second season in England's top league, Thomas Frank's team has shocked the Premier League this year by contending for European football.
The 20-goal league scorer for England has led his team to ninth place in the standings.
Thomas Frank, however, has referred to the England international as a "£100 million player" and contrasted Toney with some of the best players in Europe, like Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema.
Thomas Frank: “Ivan Toney can be worth £100m in my opinion. What would you pay for a striker that guarantees you 20 plus goals? 20 goals for a mid table club, what can he do at a bigger club?” adding that, “He can mature like a fine wine”.
Given that the Blues are apparently unwilling to invest £100 million on a new striker, this figure may prove to be a sticking point in discussions.
Chelsea are in search for a new striker as they plan for next season after their poor campaign this term.
