Thomas Frank says Ivan Toney and Brentford enjoyed a “wonderful journey” before his departure to join Al-Ahli.
Toney scored 72 goals in 141 outings for Brentford but departs in a permanent move to Saudi Arabia.
“It’s been a pleasure to work with Ivan over the last four years,” said head coach Thomas Frank.
“He has averaged more than one goal every two games, which is an unbelievable number.
“On the pitch, he has been a fantastic goalscorer, link-up player and leader. He has pushed the team, the squad and himself.
“It’s a wonderful journey that we have been on together. Ivan helped the club and the team, and the club and the team have helped Ivan.
“I’m happy he has an opportunity to try something new in his life and career. We thank him for so many magic moments and wish him all the best for his next chapter. Ivan leaves as a Brentford legend.”
