(AP Photo/Alastair Grant, File) LONDON (AP) — Ivan Toney is headed to Saudi Arabia. The striker will join Al-Ahli after the Saudi club agreed to pay Brentford a transfer fee reported to be $52 million. The Saudi Pro League had been quiet this summer — in contrast to big spending a year ago — but lured the England international away amid reported interest from Premier League clubs. Brentford announced Toney’s move early Saturday after the Premier League’s transfer window closed. The 28-year-old Toney scored 72 goals in 141 appearances for Brentford. "It’s been a pleasure to work with Ivan over the last four years,” head coach Thomas Frank said in a statement. "I’m happy he has an opportunity to try something new in his life and career.” Toney had served an eight-month ban last season for breaching betting rules. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.
