Transfer Deadline Day: Double blow for Premier League as Al-Ahli signs Osimhen and Toney

Al-Ahli Lands Osimhen and Toney Despite Chelsea Interest

Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli has secured agreements with both Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney, thwarting Chelsea’s efforts to sign either player. The club has reached a total agreement with Napoli for Osimhen and has finalized a three-year deal with Toney and his agents.

Chelsea had previously expressed interest in Toney as a potential alternative to Osimhen. However, the Premier League giants now face the prospect of losing out on both strikers.

Al-Ahli has reportedly agreed to pay Brentford €42 million for Toney, and the English striker has accepted the deal. However, there is still no confirmation from Osimhen regarding his move to Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi club is eager for Osimhen to make a decision as soon as possible, but it remains uncertain whether he will accept their offer.
