Ivan Toney to be one of England’s highest paid players after 1000% PAY RISE as he makes £40million Saudi transfer


IVAN TONEY is now one of England’s highest paid stars after making his deadline day switch to Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli landed their man after a drawn out negotiation that will see Toney, 28, pocket a handsome pay packet.

They agreed to pay Brentford some £40m, after Toney had been frozen out by the Bees this season amid the transfer speculation.

But Toney will be seeing much more cash than that with the England international penning a deal worth £84MILLION.

According to the Mirror, Toney will be pocketing £403,000-per-week, including bonuses, in the Middle East.

That’s the equivalent of £800,000-per-week before tax in the UK.

And that mega wage will make the ex-Northampton Town and Peterborough player the second highest paid English footballer in the game.

It’s also a 1000 PER CENT increase on his previous deal with Brentford where he was understood to be earning a comparatively measly £36,000-per-week.

Toney’s colossal contract is only eclipsed by Harry Kane when it comes to English players, who is said to earn just shy of £410,000-a-week at Bayern Munich.

While Toney pips Jude Bellingham to second place with England’s biggest star pocketing close to £340,000-a-week at Real Madrid – making him the third highest earner.
