Brentford striker Ivan Toney is torn over a January move as he looks set for a return to the sport.

The attacker is training with his Bees teammates, but he cannot play competitive games until mid-January.

Toney, who received a betting ban, is wanted by top clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea.

Per The Sun, a source close to Toney has stated he feels a “debt to repay" to Brentford, which may prevent a mid-season exit.

The source said: "A lot of people assume Ivan will be on his way after Christmas, but no deal has been done - and nothing has been decided.

"Ivan is torn over his future. Brentford have stood by him and the club have been brilliant.

“Part of him wants to help them by hitting the ground running straight away in January and scoring the goals which will ensure they stay in the Premier League.

"There are a lot of clubs interested in Ivan but his focus, for now, is getting back on the pitch at Brentford and doing the business for his manager Thomas Frank, to whom he feels he has a big debt to repay. The same goes for the fans.

"He's determined to get back in the England squad and Ivan fully believes in himself to make the first squad once he's back playing football."
