Ivan Toney: Brentford striker not in squad because of transfer interest – manager Frank

Ivan Toney was left out of Brentford’s squad for their Premier League opener, with manager Thomas Frank saying speculation about a possible move for the England forward was a major factor behind the decision.

Brentford striker Toney has been linked with moves to several English clubs this summer as well as a switch to the Saudi Pro League.

Speaking before his side’s match with Crystal Palace, Frank told Sky Sports: “There are a lot of things going on with Ivan [Toney], especially with transfers, there’s a lot of transfer interest.

“Because of all that, we’ve decided not to include him in the squad.”

Asked if Toney has already played his last match for Brentford, Frank said: “Who knows? There is interest, it’s not close.”

The 28-year-old has scored 67 league goals in 128 games since joining Brentford from Peterborough United in 2020.

Toney returned to action in January after he was was banned for eight months for breaking Football Association betting rules – including betting against his own team.
