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.
