Toney had wanted to go to a Champions League club, but has not garnered top level interest since returning from a lengthy betting ban.

SPL vice-chairman Saad Al-Lazeez and sporting director Michael Emenalo are now in London to sign Toney.

The Saudis believe they can tempt the forward to leave Europe during his peak years.

Toney is likely to move to Al-Ahli, the top side in the Saudi Pro League so far this term.
