Ivan Toney heading to Saudi Arabia after Brentford accept Al-Ahli bid

Brentford have accepted a £40million offer from Al-Ahli for Ivan Toney, the PA news agency understands.

England forward Toney has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, but is now set for a medical ahead of completing a move to the Saudi Pro League outfit.

The 28-year-old has one year left on his Brentford deal and has yet to feature in a Bees matchday squad this season ahead of a potential move away from West London.

Al-Ahli have also reportedly agreed a deal with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, but it is uncertain if signing Toney will affect their move for the Nigeria forward.

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto on a season-long loan.

The PA news agency understands Arsenal’s move for the 35-year-old Cherries captain is a straight switch with no obligation or option to buy.

The new Gunners signing said: “To all the supporters of Arsenal, I’d just like to say I’m one more fan here. My dream has come true, I’m really happy.

“Depend on me, I’ll give more than 100 per cent to give everything for Arsenal.”

Neto’s arrival in north London has allowed England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to complete a permanent switch to Southampton.

Ramsdale, 26, who played for Bournemouth earlier in his career, has signed a four-year contract at St Mary’s and told the club website: “I’m absolutely delighted. The way the manager (Russell Martin) wants to play, the way he was when I spoke to him, he was just full of so much enthusiasm.

“I’d never met him before, but he made me feel about eight feet tall, which is just what you want.

“Coming back down to the south coast as well for me and my family, it would be an easier transition than most, so I feel like I can hit the ground running.”

Ramsdale made 89 appearances for Arsenal after joining from Sheffield United and Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said: “Aaron has been a top professional since joining in 2021 and has made many contributions during his time with us.

“We thank Aaron for everything he gave to Arsenal and we wish him and his family the best of health, success and happiness in his new opportunity with Southampton.”

Departing the Emirates is Eddie Nketiah, who has swapped north London for south of the Thames after signing with Crystal Palace on a five-year deal.
