English striker Ivan Toney is swapping Brentford’s bees for Al Ahli’s palms in a £40M blockbuster transfer to the Saudi Pro League! 🌴⚽️ The deal, confirmed Friday, ends months of Premier League speculation linking him to Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
Why Toney’s Move Matters
Toney, 28, scored 72 goals in 141 games for Brentford, earning praise as a \"fantastic goalscorer and leader\" from manager Thomas Frank. His journey hasn’t been smooth—he served an 8-month FA ban in 2023 over betting rule violations, later reduced due to his gambling addiction diagnosis. Now, he’s ready for a fresh start in Saudi Arabia with a 3-year contract. 💼
Osimhen Still in Play?
Al Ahli isn’t done yet! 🚨 The club is also chasing Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, offering €80M plus add-ons. But the Nigerian striker’s agent says he wants to stay in Europe—Chelsea tried but couldn’t meet Napoli’s demands. Will Al Ahli’s mega-offer change his mind? Talks continue. 🔄
Saudi clubs are flexing their financial muscle again, and soccer’s transfer market just got hotter. 🔥
