Brentford striker Ivan Toney reportedly completes his £40m move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, who gave up their pursuit of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has reportedly completed a permanent move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.

The Saudi Arabian club have worked on moves for Toney and Napoli's Victor Osimhen, but they were only prepared to sign one marquee striker in the summer transfer window.

Osimhen had reportedly reached an agreement with Al-Ahli over a lucrative contract before Napoli increased their financial demands for the striker.

As a result, the Saudi Pro League side opted to walk away from negotiations and turn their full focus to securing Toney's signature.

Toney finalised Al-Ahli

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Al-Ahli have completed a deal to sign the England international from Brentford for £40m.

Toney, who had entered the final year of his Brentford deal, completed his medical in London on Friday and has agreed a contract with Matthias Jaissle's side.

With everything in place, the 28-year-old will now travel to Saudi Arabia to be presented as a new Al-Ahli player this weekend.

Toney will leave Brentford after scoring 72 goals and providing 23 assists in 141 competitive appearances during his four-year stay with the Bees.

The striker helped Thomas Frank's side win promotion in 2020-21 and achieve a top-half Premier League finish in 2022-23.
