Breaking News: Our Osimhen (The African Footballer of the Year) to CHELSEA No deal. Staying at Napoli

[Bigpokey24]

Brentford have accepted a bid in the region of £40m for Ivan Toney from Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli.

Sources close to the England forward say they believe the deal will go through, and Toney will complete the transfer.

Toney, 28, has not played for Brentford so far this season and manager Thomas Frank has already ruled him out of Saturday's game against Southampton.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has also been linked with a big money move to Al-Ahli.

The Saudi transfer window does not close until 2 September, so Toney's transfer does not have to be completed by the Premier League deadline of 23:00 BST on Friday.

Toney was part of Gareth Southgate's England squad at Euro 2024, although his three appearances - including in the defeat by Spain in the final - were all as a late substitute when England were chasing the game.

Toney scored a penalty in the shoot-out victory over Switzerland, when he found the net without looking at the ball as he stared down the keeper., external

He was left out of interim England manager Lee Carsley's squad for September's Nations League games on Thursday.

Toney scored 20 goals in the 2022-23 Premier League season and netted four

Vic, don’t do it. Hope the Toney transfer goes in first. Better stay in Napoli and move in January or whenever. Too good, too young to go to KSA right now.

Hoping the Toney deal means Osi is not going to Saudi. This kid has business to do in a top league. He can get his pension in 4 or 5 years time.

toney looks likely to head to saudi

Toney to Saudi means no Osimehn to Saudi abi? Hmmm so Osimehn to Chelsea? Or is any other club in Europe sneaking in at the last minute?

rumor has it , they want both and they are trying to loan out Bobby to another Saudi club. However seems Chelsea and Vic don reach somewhere, but the next bet is Napoli

You have to be in Saudi for two years to get tax free status. Something like 50% holding tax until you complete two years in the country. Like all other countries you can only allowed so many days per year out of the country to qualify

Why would a top player like Osimhen accept an incentive based wage structure?
Not sure I understand that...

I’ve said previously that Maresca doesn’t feel he needs Osimhen. If that weren’t true Osimhen would have been a Chelsea player by now… but that’s good news for Osimhen, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think Osimhen will thrive under a coach like Maresca


Cheers.
