He’s too old for Clearlake, no?
Ivan Toney left out of Brentford squad because of ‘transfer interest’ in striker
Thomas Frank has left Ivan Toney out of Brentford’s squad to face Crystal Palace amid ‘a lot of transfer interest’ in the striker
www.theguardian.com
“A lot of things are going on with Ivan, especially with transfers, there’s a lot of transfer interest. Because of all that, we’ve decided not to include him in the squad,” Frank told Sky Sports before kick-off. “I can’t give too much away the day before. Of course Ivan is a top player, we all know that. He has been fantastic for us for four years but we showed last season we can cope without him.”

Possibly an attitude issue?
What a waste to his career if he goes to play in Saudi Arabia?! He can kiss goodbye to his England career. 28 years of age and in his peak years and could be forced to play a Camel Farming League. What a waste.

Arsenal?
There are stories that Arsenal dropped their internet due to Toney’s character. The fact that no one else has moved for him makes this seem possible. Equally the above could be 2+2=5.
He's 28 years old, so from a buying club POV, will likely have little / no resale value. that rules out clubs who buy as investment.
From his own POV this is his one BIG chance to earn really huge money. His wage demands, I'd imagine, are massive.

Parish also said Palace could end their interest in re-signing Wilfried Zaha, with issues over tax set to scupper a loan move from Galatasaray. “I’d have Wilf Zaha back in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it’ll be possible this summer,” he said.
Oh, what a bummer!!!!!

Too much of gamble(r)
Age, I suspect a bit of a difficult character , wages. And out of the ‘top’ clubs who would want him?
Allegedly he met Arsenal in the summer who decided not to take the interest any further.
Don’t forget Brentford want £50M and would happily let him run his deal down it seems.

He's a bit of a knob?
He has reportedly been offered £325k a week to go to Al-Ahli. I don't think he'd be that important for any Premier League club that could afford those wages and therefore is suddenly a very unattractive prospect.
To put it into context, he'll be earning more than any Premier League footballer outside of Manchester (plus Salah). Is he that good? nope.

He won't be missed though.
I love watching his penalty technique. That's about it though. And Mbuemo can do the same thing.

would have thought the gambling suspension makes him a large risk, one little bet and missing a striker.
Maybe they should upgrade to fibre?

Pretty sure they’d remove his hands or even better feet for having a flutter
