Ivan Toney Betting: What now for the English striker?
This season, Toney has been in excellent form, and he is presently the joint-third-highest scorer in the Premier League. He has netted 14 times, which is equivalent to Marcus Rashford’s tally and only behind the goals of Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.
Although Toney has not represented his country at the international level, he was a non-playing substitute in England’s 3-3 tie with Germany in September last year, before being excluded from the World Cup squad.

Joey Barton was discovered to have violated betting regulations in 2016, having made 1,260 bets over the course of ten years. As a result, he was prohibited from participating in the sport for 18 months in April of the following year, and he chose to retire instead of appealing the punishment, effectively ending his career.
Also, in January 2018, Daniel Sturridge, a former England forward, was suspended for four months for sharing information regarding his transfer. He was also fined £150,000, and his contract with the Turkish club Trabzonspor was terminated.
