ALL QUIET: Mikel Merino of Real Sociedad

BRENTFORD striker Ivan Toney is wasting his peak years considering a move to Saudi Arabia while he is at his "peak", believes ex-Premier League striker Chris Sutton.

The Bees rejected a £35m bid for the 28-year-old from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli last week with manager Thomas Frank leaving Toney out of the side which beat Crystal Palace 2-1 on Sunday because of "transfer interest".
