Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli and Chelsea are currently the frontrunners in the race for the signature of the reigning African Footballer of the Year.

Chelsea's representatives are reportedly in Italy to convince the former Lille striker to accept the Blues initial loan deal with an obligation to buy.

_@FabrizioRomano: Ivan Toneyโs currently undergoing medical tests approved by Al Ahli in London. Chelsea delegation currently in Napoli as they are still trying to find a way for Victor Osimhen deal to be re-activated. Al Ahli keep planning to sign only ONE between Osimhen and Toney.
_@princessluna237: Why's he wasting time again. Has Saudi not agreed with his wage demands already?
_@carsblogerrrr: Bro rest, he will come to Chelsea
_@Adesanyajnr: It has always boiled down to him. Just that we have too many sources thatโs making confusion everywhere.
_@Habiby001: Truth to be told he doesn't want to move to Saudi Arabia that is why he hasn't given the green light to the transfer
_@CYRIACUS3: Please tell him to collect the money, we're doing 1 or 2 for the bag
_@samuel_midad260: Craziest transfer? Why una be like this? ๐
