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.
The PA news agency also understands that Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto on a season-long loan.
Arsenal’s move for the 35-year-old Cherries captain is a straight switch with no obligation or option to buy.
Neto’s arrival in north London will pave the way for England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to complete a permanent switch to Southampton.
“I think it will be massive,” boss Russell Martin said of Ramsdale’s imminent’s arrival before Southampton’s Premier League visit to Brentford on Saturday.
“Some of the guys will be surprised that he is coming but I think it is big. He wants to be here. I think it will give everyone a lift.
“It will be a big call if we get Aaron on time for tomorrow’s game, so I feel for Alex [McCarthy, Saints goalkeeper]. It is a really tough part of football.”
Wolves have signed another England goalkeeper with Sam Johnstone joining from Crystal Palace on a four-year contract, with the 31-year-old costing a reported £10m fee.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs told the Wolves website: “It’s great for us to have a player with a huge amount of Premier League experience and an international goalkeeper.
“It’s an area of the pitch we wanted to add more competition and, for us, it’s finding the right balance between the level of investment, what it adds to the squad and what it enables us to do for the rest of the squad.”
Everton striker Neal Maupay has joined Marseille on loan for the 2024-25 season, with the French club having an obligation to buy the 28-year-old at the end of the campaign.
Maupay made 32 appearances for Everton, scoring one goal, and spent last season on loan at his former club Brentford.
Rangers winger Scott Wright has signed a three-year deal at Sky Bet League One outfit Birmingham for an undisclosed fee.
