Manchester United and Chelsea remain keen on Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

However, rather than buy Toney this month, both Prem giants are exploring the prospect of a loan-to-buy arrangement.

The Daily Mail says United and Chelsea are considering trying to loan the striker and include a mandatory purchase option in the deal.

This despite the fact that Toney's contract expires in a year - which means that he can be signed as a Bosman next summer.

Neither United nor Chelsea want to pay a transfer fee this summer - but they may be all the more ready to do so in just over a year.

Such an agreement would make it easier for the clubs to follow the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules.
