Brentford star Ivan Toney appears in front of disciplinary panel over 262 betting offences

Ivan Toney has reportedly appeared in front of a disciplinary panel amid the multiple betting offences charges he faces.

The Bees are expecting the 27-year-old to receive a ban after he admitted multiple charges of breaching FA gambling rules.

Toney was charged with 232 breaches of betting rules in November, with the incidents claimed to have occurred from when he was on Newcastle’s books in 2017, to when he joined Brentford from Peterborough in 2021.

He was then charged with a further 30 offences at the end of December.

According to Sky Sports, Toney appeared in front of a disciplinary panel on Tuesday.

It remains to be seen what punishment the Football Association will dish out on Toney, and how long he could be banned for.

Brentford and the FA will not be making any comment on Toney until a decision has been made.

With the Premier League season set to conclude by the end of the month, it looks likely that any ban will come into effect next campaign.

And that could see potential suitors deciding against a move for the England international in the summer.

Toney has enjoyed a stellar term so far, having chipped in with 20 goals and four assists in 33 top-flight matches.

Only Manchester City marksman Erling Haaland and Tottenham forward Harry Kane have scored more than Toney in the Premier League.

Speaking last week, Brentford boss Thomas Frank slapped a £100million valuation on the player.

He said: “Ivan Toney can be worth £100m in my opinion.

“What would you pay for a striker that guarantees you 20-plus goals?

“20 goals for a mid-table club, what can he do at a bigger club? He can mature like a fine wine.”
