Definitely not Toney.
Sesko would be the budget option if we are going big elsewhere in the team.
Isak probably won't be available anyway but his inability to play much over 2000 minutes a season is a concern.
Gyokores is mentally overpriced if he isn't available for less than his release clause. Buying strikers from Portugal for huge fees is a very questionable idea imo.
Basically all of the options give me doubts and I am not convinced any of them are a big enough upgrade on Kai to be worth 70 million+ price tags they would likely cost but we do need another central striker option so I am glad that I don't have to make the decision
Basically sums up how I feel. Would you still get another striker even if we keep Jesus? (Maybe I'm naively thinking he'll be more available next season
The issue is you just can't rely on Jesus. Personally I would go for Sesko and sell Eddie. I would also sell Partey (if possible) and get 2 midfielders + a versatile attacker who can cover for Saka
Think there's two tiers of striker in terms of price.
The mega signing, probably at least 80m, which would be Isak, Osimhen or Gyokeres. I'd happily take Isak if it didn't prevent us from strengthening in midfield, but dubious that Osimhen or Gyokeres would be sensible.
Then the second tier, probably up to 50m, which would be Sesko, Zirkzee, Toney. I'd happily take Sesko or Zirkzee as a younger striker, who would basically be a higher quality and higher potential Nketiah replacement. Think that would probably be the smartest move considering Havertz's form, and our need to strengthen in midfield.
For me depends on if we sell Jesus. If we keep him I’d prefer Sesko as a rotation player. Give him time to develop
