The Brentford forward, Ivan Toney, is completely transparent with a current Football Association inquiry into purported wagering actions.
The investigation, allegedly covering a period of seven months, counts Toney among the individuals being examined. It’s crucial to emphasize that, at present, the forward hasn’t been accused of any misconduct.
Insiders indicate that the supposed gambling activities transpired before Toney signed with Brentford, and there’s no suggestion of any wagers made on games involving his present club.
Toney posted on Twitter, stating, “I’m cognizant of an article in a national publication today concerning me. I’ve been aiding the FA with their inquiries and will persist in doing so until it reaches a resolution, and I won’t be offering any remarks until then.”
Gareth Southgate, the England coach, recently included Toney in his team. Nevertheless, the forward didn’t participate in the Nations League contests against Italy and Germany.
Despite this, Toney holds onto the aspiration of securing a position in England’s final roster for the 2022 World Cup. Southgate is anticipated to reveal his 26-man squad on November 10th.
“Representing my nation at a World Cup finals would be a fulfilled childhood aspiration,” Toney added.
The FA maintains rigorous rules, forbidding all players, managers, club personnel, executives, and licensed representatives engaged in the Premier League from engaging in any type of football betting.
A global prohibition from all wagering activities connected to soccer has been imposed on Tony. Brentford FC, the team Tony plays for, issued a communication stating, “We are cognizant of the accusations concerning Tony and the ongoing inquiry by the Football Association. At present, the organization will not be providing any supplementary remarks.”
