Ivan Toney, the prolific Brentford striker, is on the verge of a surprise move to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli on Deadline Day
This development comes after Al Ahli agreed to a £40m deal with Brentford, trumping Chelsea’s late bid to sign the England international.
Chelsea had identified Toney as a prime target to bolster their attacking options, seeking a proven goalscorer to enhance their squad.
However, it appears that Al Ahli’s substantial offer has won out, with Toney now set to undergo a medical with Matthias Jaissle’s side.
In a fascinating turn of events, Toney may be joined at Al Ahli by Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, another striker who had been linked to Chelsea.
Reports suggest that Osimhen is nearing a £67.3m move to Al Ahli, which would reunite him with Toney in the Middle East.
This unexpected twist raises intriguing questions about the future of both players and the ambitions of Al Ahli in the transfer market.
