Ivan Toney, who has been linked with a move away from Brentford this month, has been accused of contradicting himself over his future by former Liverpool ace Neil Ruddock.

“The other day Ivan Toney said he wanted to repay Brentford’s loyalty, and the next day he says he wants to move to a bigger club,” said Ruddock.

“It feels like his head is up his own backside, but I just don’t think he knows what he wants. His head is all over the place.

“You can see that with the kind of quotes he’s coming out with, one day pledging his loyalty and the next saying he wants to move somewhere bigger.”
