Brentford boss Thomas Frank won't hear criticism of Ivan Toney.
The striker is facing a betting ban.
With 14 goals in the Premier League this season, Toney has only been outscored by Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane.
Ivan is amazing in many, many aspects," Frank began.
The way he copes with pressure and distractions is amazing.
He's been scoring goals, performing for the team and driving the team. He's remarkable.
I can only talk about the Ivan that I see every day around the place and he's a fantastic person around the group. He's got that unique emotional intelligence to be aware of all the players, and every staff member.
Ivan trains well and he's clearly the number two striker in England, that's proven by his goals and performances."
