Brentford striker Ivan Toney says he's "assisting the Football Association with their enquiries" after it was alleged that he was being investigated for gambling on football.
The FA, which prohibits players from betting on the sport, is claimed to be looking into the 26-year-old's bets from before he joined the Premier League club in August 2020. While the FA declined to comment in response to a report from The Mail, Brentford confirmed in a statement: "We note the story concerning Ivan Toney and the FA investigation. The club will not be commenting."
In September, Toney received an England call-up for the first time by manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the Three Lions' Nations League double-header against Italy and Germany. Although he went uncapped in the latest round of fixtures before the World Cup, the former Newcastle forward remains hopeful of going to Qatar later this month.
