Brentfords gifted forward and England national team hopeful, Ivan Toney, is currently the subject of a Football Association (FA) inquiry regarding potential wagering activities.
The probe, which commenced seven months ago, revolves around Toney’s purported engagement in gambling. It’s crucial to highlight that these actions allegedly transpired prior to Toney’s tenure at Brentford, and there are no implications of match manipulation or betting on matches involving his current club.
Toney himself addressed the matter, confirming his complete cooperation with the FA’s investigation and declining further comment until its resolution.
Although this situation casts a pall over Toney’s recent inclusion in the England squad, where he was an unused substitute against Italy and Germany, he remains optimistic about securing a place in the final roster for the 2022 World Cup. The announcement is anticipated on November 10th, a date of significant importance for Toney.
The FA maintains stringent regulations that forbid anyone involved in professional football within England from engaging in any form of football betting.
The Brentford Football Club released a communication acknowledging the accusations against Ivan Toney. However, they will refrain from further remarks while the Football Association carries out its inquiry. Reports have surfaced claiming that Toney allegedly broke regulations related to wagering on football games.
