They struck a £40million deal with Brentford, where Toney had been frozen out this season amid the transfer speculation before he completed club-approved medical checks in London.
Toney has penned a three-year deal with the Middle East outfit, where he will reportedly earn a whopping £327,000-a-week.
That will net the ex-Northampton Town and Peterborough player £51m over the course of his deal.
Despite the colossal contract he will still not be top of the table for England player earnings.
Instead, it places him third on the list behind Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham.
Bayern Munich ace Kane is said to earn just shy of £410,000-a-week in Germany, while Bellingham pockets close to £340,000-a-week.
Raheem Sterling ranks fourth on the list, with the new Arsenal loanee’s wages of £325,000-a-week being covered by both the Gunners and Chelsea for the season.
Manchester United and Manchester City stars Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish both earn a cool £300,000-a-week.

Four English footballers are earning £250,000-a-week, those being; Mason Mount, John Stones, Reece James and Jadon Sancho.
The latter completed a loan move to Chelsea from Man Utd on deadline day, but it is currently unclear what his wage situation is at the Blues.
Arsenal‘s Declan Rice rakes in £240,000-a-week while Phil Foden is on £225,000-a-week at Man City.
Ben Chilwell and Conor Gallagher are the final Three Lions on at least £200,000-a-week, while Bukayo Saka is just shy of this figure on £195,000.
Harry Maguire, who was recently seen playing bingo at a Haven holiday park, earns £190,000 per week.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is the only Liverpool star on the list and brings in £180,000 a week, slightly more than Kyle Walker‘s £175,000-a-week wages.
James Maddison is also the only player from his club on the list on £150,000-a-week.
Ben White and Luke Shaw then both earn £150,000 a week at Arsenal and Man Utd respectively.
Interim England manager Lee Carsley announced his first England squad earlier this week.
Incredibly, only eight of the top 20 most-paid Three Lions stars made the cut for the games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.
