VIDEO: Ivan Toney nods along awkwardly to cringe-worthy chant from Al-Ahli fans as England striker visits Saudi club shop following £40m transfer from Brentford

Toney swapped <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ivan-toney-leaves-premier-league-completes-34m-transfer-al-ahli-despite-chelsea-interest/blta7e9c1ace6c73e22#cse8ba943bfe2bc69e" target="_blank">Brentford for Al-Ahli late</a> last month and has since been getting to grips with his new surroundings in Saudi Arabia.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Toney could make his Al-Ahli debut when they take on Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr on September 13 in the Saudi Pro League. His new team currently sit eighth in the table following a win and a loss so far this season.
