Brentford striker Ivan Toney is on the brink of a move to the Saudi Pro League.
It is understood the Bees have accepted a bid in the region of £40m from Al-Ahli for the England forward.
Sources close to the player have said they believe the deal will go through, and Toney will complete the transfer.
It is not known how this would affect Victor Osimhen’s proposed move to Al-Ahli from Napoli.
The Saudi transfer window does not close until Monday (2 September), so the transfer does not have to be completed by the Premier League deadline of 23:00 BST.
Toney has not played for Brentford so far this season and manager Thomas Frank has already ruled the 28-year-old out of tomorrow’s game against Southampton.
The front-man was part of Gareth Southgate’s squad at Euro 2024, although his three appearances – including in the final defeat by Spain – were all as a late substitute when England were chasing the game. Toney scored a penalty in the shootout victory over Switzerland, when he found the net without looking at the ball.
He scored 20 goals in the 2022-23 Premier League season but failed to score for his club again after hitting four in his first five games last season after returning from an eight-month suspension after breaching FA betting rules.
