A Saudi Arabian representative and a Premier League club are vying for Brentford striker

Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli is eager to acquire Brentford striker Ivan Toney and is prepared to increase their bid.

According to The Sun, the initial offer from the Saudis, amounting to £35 million, was rejected by the English club. Brentford had previously valued Toney at £70 million, but the "Bees" are open to negotiations as Toney himself wishes to leave the club.

Moreover, Chelsea is poised to enter the fray for the striker, as they seek to strengthen their attack before the transfer window closes. The "Bees" are now considering a potential deal in the region of £45 million (€53 million / $58 million).

However, it is known that Toney and his family have yet to give their final consent for a move to Saudi Arabia.

Throughout his career, Toney has made 85 Premier League appearances, scoring 35 goals. Last season, Al-Ahli finished in third place in the Saudi Pro League.
