Sutton warns ‘peak’ Toney against Saudi move

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton believes Brentford forward Ivan Toney should remain in England rather than accepting a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia. Sutton argues that Toney, at his peak, has much to offer the Premier League and that a move to Saudi Arabia would be a waste of his talent.

Toney has been the subject of a £35 million bid from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli, but Brentford has rejected the offer. Sutton suggests that Toney should prioritize his footballing development and stay in the Premier League, where he can continue to showcase his skills and contribute to a top-flight team.

The former England international highlights Toney’s abilities, including his physicality, goal-scoring prowess, and set-piece expertise. Sutton believes that while money is important, Toney should focus on his career progression and wait for the right opportunity in the Premier League.

While Brentford has been linked with a potential sale of Toney, Sutton and fellow pundit Izzy Christiansen question why other Premier League clubs haven’t shown more interest in the talented forward. Christiansen suggests that Toney’s recent performances and his involvement in the England squad should make him an attractive target for top-flight clubs.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has acknowledged that Toney’s departure may be inevitable, but he insists that a move is not imminent. As the transfer window continues, it remains to be seen whether Toney will remain in the Premier League or make the lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.
