According to Sky Sports, Al-Ahli cannot afford to sign Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney because it would go over their budget and exceed the limit for foreign players.

It has been a busy beginning to transfer deadline day. Check out all the details here.

Learn more about the puzzle of Raheem Sterling by reading the information provided below.

This is what Graeme's thoughts are on the agreement involving Toney.

Considering how old he is, his skills, and the fact that he was connected to some good teams (including Chelsea), it's sad to see Toney head to Saudi Arabia at this point in his career. I can somewhat grasp a player's decision to go for a big money move at the end of their career, but this move is not about that.

It will be difficult for Toney to rejoin the England team if he continues to play in the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Ahli has reached a £40 million agreement to bring in Ivan Toney from Brentford. The team from the Saudi Pro League will be offering the English striker a substantial salary and are continuing their efforts to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli. It has been a busy day of spending in the Middle East. Toney, who has one year remaining on his contract, has been rumored to be on the radar of both Chelsea and Manchester United. It remains to be seen if a Premier League team will make a move for him after seeing the high price tag.

Arsenal Mull Over Sterling Transfer Offer

Arsenal is thinking about signing Raheem Sterling after receiving an offer for the Chelsea player. Mikel Arteta is looking to strengthen the team's attacking options and there is a possibility that Sterling, who has been informed he is not part of Chelsea's future plans, could end up with one of their biggest competitors.

It would be difficult to make the deal happen since the 29-year-old winger still has three years remaining on a contract worth £325,000 per week. It is likely that Sterling will remain at Chelsea due to his contractual obligations, but Enzo Maresca has cautioned him that he will not see any playing time if he chooses not to transfer.

Keep an eye on Manchester United because they have been in discussions with Chelsea about a potential exchange deal involving Jadon Sancho and Sterling. There is a possibility that Sancho might move to Chelsea without any players being traded in return. Sterling has also reportedly caught the interest of Aston Villa, Juventus, and Crystal Palace.

Jacob Steinberg has new information about what is happening with Raheem Sterling.

Darrien has a funny side.

"I may be a bit behind, but I just saw Sean Dyche and Vinny Samways having breakfast together at a popular cafe in Liverpool. There are rumors circulating about a potential £2 million transfer deal."

Al-Ahli Signs Ivan Toney For £40m

Sky Sports has announced that Al-Ahli has also reached an agreement to acquire Ivan Toney. The situation is not favorable for Chelsea.

Arne Slot stayed composed during the press conference today. When questioned about potential late transfers, he responded by saying, "We're not anticipating any, but if a chance arises, we might make a move."

West Ham is mainly concentrating on players leaving the club, but they are also considering making a move for PSG midfielder Carlos Soler. Additionally, they are working on another potential transfer behind the scenes.

A lot will be determined by their ability to secure funding. Kurt Zouma is likely going on loan to Saudi Arabia, pending a successful medical examination.

Nottingham Forest is considering signing James Ward-Prowse, while Southampton may loan out Maxwel Cornet, unless Crystal Palace intervenes. Nayef Aguerd is attracting attention from several teams, but Danny Ings is not looking to depart from West Ham.

It's possible that Ernest Nuamah may depart Lyon before the transfer window closes. The Ghanaian midfielder is attracting attention from Everton and Nottingham Forest.

Enzo Maresca has told the rejected players at Chelsea that they will not get any game time under his management, even if they choose to stay.

This situation presents a choice for someone like Trevoh Chalobah. The player, who is a defender, is being sought after by multiple clubs. It's uncertain whether he will decide to depart from the team he has always been a part of since he was a child.

Someone has submitted a suggestion to help Chelsea with her issue in my email inbox.

"If the reports from Sky Italy are accurate, then Toney's move will not extend beyond Fulham Broadway. The Bees could consider exchanging him for Raheem and Chilwell, possibly with a small cash adjustment, in order to acquire a quality striker and provide backup for the talented but injury-prone Rico Henry on the left side. This whole negotiating process doesn't seem too difficult after all..."

Discover more information on Neto's transfer to Arsenal below:

Arsenal will be bringing in Neto on loan from Bournemouth for the upcoming season, as their attempts to sign Joan Garcia from Espanyol were unsuccessful. The Brazilian goalie is scheduled to undergo a medical exam on Friday, following an agreement with Bournemouth for a loan deal without any obligation to buy. Neto will serve as backup for David Raya, as it is anticipated that Aaron Ramsdale will be leaving for Southampton.

Leicester has secured the transfer of Caleb Okoli from Atalanta for a fee of approximately €15m (£12.7m). The 22-year-old, who has played for Italy's Under-21 team, was on loan at Frosinone in Serie A last season.

Okoli has signed a contract with Leicester for five years. He is the third player to join the team this summer, following the signings of 18-year-old midfielder Michael Golding from Chelsea for around £5m and former Fulham forward Bobby Decordova-Reid on a free transfer.

Chelsea sent their team to Italy last night to try and persuade Victor Osimhen to switch to their team from Napoli. They are prepared to go beyond their usual salary limits to sign the Nigerian player, but they will need to put in a lot of effort to prevent him from accepting a lucrative offer from Al Ahli.

The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is always buzzing. Enzo Maresca is looking to bring in a new striker, with Chelsea possibly targeting Ivan Toney. They are currently negotiating with Manchester United for Jadon Sancho. Adding another winger seems a bit excessive. Raheem Sterling is a possibility to join Chelsea as well. We are eagerly awaiting updates on potential transfers for Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Trevoh Chalobah. I've heard that Chalobah's chances are split evenly at 50-50.

Chiesa had a strong first season at Juventus, scoring 14 goals and providing 10 assists in all competitions. He also scored one goal and made an assist for Fiorentina before joining Juventus. At Euro 2020, he started as a substitute but earned a spot in Italy's starting lineup on the right side of the attack after scoring a crucial goal in extra time against Austria. His goal in the semi-final against Spain further solidified his status as one of the top up-and-coming talents in Europe.

In another part of Liverpool, the Reds made their first acquisition of the transfer window. Find out more about the Federico Chiesa agreement below:

Mark has a forecast that he would like to share:

I believe Everton will have a successful end to the transfer window, which will help lift the current gloom surrounding the club. It would be unforgivable not to take advantage of the remaining domestic loan opportunities, so I anticipate a player from London making a last-minute move to Liverpool. Have a wonderful day and make sure to stay hydrated with plenty of Diet Coke!

I believe I will begin my evening with a coffee before deciding on a stronger drink later.

Andrew Coxon has made a forecast:

"Chelsea were unable to secure Osimhen and ultimately failed to finalize a deal for Toney. As a result, they decided to keep Sterling, Chilwell, and Chalobah because they were unable to find buyers willing to meet their asking prices. The chaotic situation at Chelsea persists..."

I wouldn't be shocked, Andrew. I wouldn't be shocked.

According to Sky Italy, Victor Osimhen is set to join Al-Alhi. This is disappointing for Chelsea, as they will now need to search for a different striker. Perhaps Ivan Toney could be a potential option?
