Premier League Striker Risks at least Six-Month Ban

Brentford forward player, Ivan Toney could be without football for at least six months following his recent betting scandal.

The Englishman was charged over 232 alleged breaches of betting rules in November 2022; he was charged with a further 30 alleged breaches of FA betting rules in the following month. Toney has pleaded guilty in response to many of the 262 charges between 2017 and 2021.
