Ivan Toney could be set for shock transfer abroad having been linked with moves to Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea


ENGLAND star Ivan Toney is a top target for Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, according to shock reports.

The Brentford striker has been heavily linked with an exit as he has just one year left on his contract.

SunSport exclusively revealed that the Bees were initially ready to slash their asking price to just £30million for Toney.

But after new striker Igor Thiago picked up a knee injury that is set to rule him out until December, the club were having a re-think about selling their main man.

A host of Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for Toney – including Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham.

But reporter Fabrizio Romano claims there is interest from the Saudi Pro League.

He reports that Toney is one of the “main strikers being considered” by chiefs in the Middle East.

Al-Ahli have supposedly had an interest since January.

The report also claims that the player is “assessing his options” and is yet to make a decision on his future.

But his choices could now be limited as United have signed Joshua Zirkzee, Spurs have completed a deal for Dominic Solanke and Niclas Fullkrug has joined West Ham.

Toney scored four goals in 17 games last season after serving an eight-month betting ban.

He was also a member of the England squad that fell just short in the final to Spain.

A move to Al-Ahli would see him team-up with ex-Prem stars Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino.
