Brentford striker Ivan Toney has reportedly admitted to multiple charges that breached the Football Association's betting rules.

It was revealed in December that the 26-year-old has been handed 262 charges in relation to betting offences.

The alleged breaches stretch from 2017, when he was at Newcastle, to 2021 following his move to the Bees from Peterborough.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Toney has pleaded guilty to many of the charges that are against him.

The report adds that an FA disciplinary hearing is said to be imminent, with the striker also contesting some of the other charges.

He is thus expected be set for a lengthy ban that will begin before the end of the current campaign.

Such an absence would see him miss out on the chance to play for England in their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine in March.

It could also impact the rest of Brentford's season given his 14 goals in 21 Premier League appearances so far this term.
