Al Ahli Persistent in Pursuit of Ivan Toney

Saudi Pro League giants Al Ahli remain determined to secure the services of Brentford striker Ivan Toney, despite having a £35 million bid rejected by the Bees last week.

The English forward has emerged as a top target for the Middle Eastern club as they look to bolster their squad with high-profile signings. Toney's impressive performances in the Premier League have attracted significant interest, with Al Ahli offering a lucrative package to tempt the 28-year-old away from west London.

Brentford, however, have shown a strong resistance to parting ways with their star striker, who has been instrumental in the club's recent success. The Bees are believed to value Toney considerably higher than the initial offer, and it remains to be seen whether Al Ahli will increase their bid to meet Brentford's valuation.

As the transfer window draws to a close, the situation surrounding Toney's future is expected to intensify. With both clubs holding firm in their respective positions, a resolution to this transfer saga could come down to the wire.
