Chelsea are moving for Bayern
Munich striker Luca Toni.
The Daily Mail says the Italy striker has been in
conflict with Bayern boss Louis van Gaal after struggling to win a
starting place for the Bundesliga giants this season.
A very public row with the Dutchman has put several teams across
Europe on alert.
West Ham boss
Gianfranco Zola would love to
tempt his compatriot to Upton Park, but Toni is thought to be more
keen to return to Italy, where several teams are weighing up a
bid.
However, reports in Italy that Chelsea are interested could intrigue the
32-year-old. His £170,000 a week salary is prohibitive, especially
to the Hammers, but Toni would accept a lower figure to get
first-team football and help his chances of playing at the World
Cup next summer.
