Ivan Toney turns away from MU to go to Saudi Arabia
Latest developments show that Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli is the brightest destination for Ivan Toney.
Toney and his desire to leave Brentford
Ivan Toney has made no secret of his desire to leave Brentford this summer in search of a new challenge.
His impressive form last season has attracted the attention of many big clubs, including Manchester United. The Red Devils are looking for a genuine striker to add to their attack and Toney is considered one of the top targets.
Amid the Toney rumours, Manchester United have made some moves in the transfer market. They have successfully recruited Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta. However, Hojlund's injury has forced the Red Devils to look for another striker to strengthen their attack. Joshua Zirkzee has been brought in from Bayern Munich as a backup option.
Al Ahli enters the game and the latest developments
Although Manchester United are still chasing Toney, Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli are the team that is leading the race to sign the England striker. According to reputable sources, Al Ahli have reached a personal agreement with Toney and are close to completing the contract.
Toney's absence from Brentford's squad in recent games has fuelled speculation that he is on the verge of leaving Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford boss Frank has refused to comment on Toney's future, but indications are that he is on his way to Saudi Arabia.
