Brentford forward Ivan Toney has spoken regarding his eight-month ban from football.

The 27-year-old was at the Formula One British Grand Prix over the weekend.

Toney, who was banned for over 100 betting violations, heaped praise on his manager Thomas Frank.

Speaking to Sky Sports about his relationship with Frank, Toney said: He brings us strength and love. When a player plays for somebody, they want to be loved.

Thomas Frank does that with all the players - whether you're starting, on the bench, just in the squad - he makes all his players feel special.

That's the quality he has. He's one of the best managers I've played under. He knows I'll give my heart for him and put my body on the line for him.

I'm a grown man, I take it on the chin (the ban) and move forward. I know I'll come back better than before."
