Brentford striker Ivan Toney ‘agrees personal terms’ with Saudi Pro League club

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has reportedly agreed personal terms with Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli.

The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Brentford, having entered the final 12 months of his contract.

As a result, the latter stages of the transfer window represent one final chance for Brentford to command a sizeable fee for the England international.

Toney has been linked with a number of top Premier League sides, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.

However, neither of those Premier League clubs have made a serious move to sign Toney, leaving him to weigh up alternative options.

Toney agrees terms with Al-Ahli

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Toney has agreed personal terms over a potential transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.

The update claims that the Saudi Pro League’s vice-chairman Saad Al-Lazeez and sporting director Michael Emenalo have travelled to London to try and finalise the move.

Brentford are believed to be looking for around £50m after previously turning down a £35m proposal from Al-Ahli.

There is a belief that negotiations are now at an advanced stage and there is hope that a deal can be swiftly agreed between all parties.

Toney closing in on Brentford exit

While a transfer is yet to be confirmed, it appears that Toney is close to ending his four-year stay at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The forward has scored 72 goals in 141 competitive appearances for the Bees, helping the club win promotion in 2020-21 and achieve a top-half finish in 2022-23.

Toney is seemingly set to swap Thomas Frank‘s side for a club that finished in third place in the Saudi Pro League last season.

The striker would join an Al-Ahli squad which contains Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez, Edouard Mendy, Franck Kessie and Gabri Veiga.
