Bees star Toney had entered the final year of his contract in London.

However, Toney has now agreed a four-year deal to move to the Middle East.
He will earn a staggering £100m during his time in Saudi, with Al-Ahli also paying a £40m fee to Brentford.
Meanwhile, the oil-rich club are also set to sign Osimhen from Napoli.
The Nigerian is expected to cost £67m, with his Italian club desperate to cash in after signing Chelsea flop Romelu Lukaku.
But Osimhen’s wages will total a staggering £134m, taking his overall fee to £200m.
