Why aren't Premier League clubs trying to sign Ivan Toney?

At the start of the transfer window, we assumed that loads of clubs would be queuing up to sign Ivan Toney this summer. However it seems a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League is more on the cards for the England international.

Toney’s recorded 36 goals across 85 Premier League games and proves he is a deadly attacker in the division, but where is the interest from Premier League clubs?

Ayo is joined by Jay Harris from ‘The View From the Lane’ and Tatics writer Liam Tharme as they digest the current situation circling Ivan Toney and Brentford. Is a big money move more beneficial for Brentford? Or is Toney just something money can’t buy for the Bees?
