Ivan Toney heading to Saudi Arabia after Brentford accept Al-Ahli bid
Brentford have accepted a £40 million (€47 million) offer from Al-Ahli for Ivan Toney, the PA news agency understands.
England forward Toney has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, but is now set for a medical ahead of completing a move to the Saudi Pro League outfit.
The 28-year-old has one year left on his Brentford deal and has yet to feature in a Bees matchday squad this season ahead of a potential move away from West London.
Al-Ahli have also reportedly agreed a deal with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, but it is uncertain if signing Toney will affect their move for the Nigeria forward.
The PA news agency also understands that Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto on a season-long loan.
Arsenal’s move for the 35-year-old Cherries captain is a straight switch with no obligation or option to buy.
Neto’s arrival in north London will pave the way for England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to complete a permanent switch to Southampton.
“I think it will be massive,” boss Russell Martin said of Ramsdale’s imminent arrival before Southampton’s Premier League visit to Brentford on Saturday.
“Some of the guys will be surprised that he is coming but I think it is big. He wants to be here. I think it will give everyone a lift.
“It will be a big call if we get Aaron in time for tomorrow’s game, so I feel for Alex [McCarthy, Saints goalkeeper]. It is a really tough part of football.”
Wolves have signed another England goalkeeper with Sam Johnstone joining from Crystal Palace on a four-year contract, with the 31-year-old costing a reported £10m fee.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs told the Wolves website: “It’s great for us to have a player with a huge amount of Premier League
