Marcus Maddison is very creative but he only plays through balls. He couldn’t fit in with jukey, so Toney for me.

What do we think?

It may not come as a huge surprise that Blues fans have been naming Toney as the League One player that they would most like to see at St.Andrew’s, considering that the 24-year-old attacker has been delivering some impressive performances for the Posh this season in League One.

Toney, who is valued at £360k (as per Transfermarkt), has scored an impressive total of 24 goals in his 32 league appearances this season, making him the top goalscorer in England’s third tier at present. 

Furthermore, Toney has earned an average overall rating of 7.91 this term, according to WhoScored.com. This makes him the highest-rated player in League One this season.

Considering that the 24-year-old has delivered some impressive performances this season, it may not come as a shock if some Championship clubs are keeping an eye on Toney at present ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
