Brentford are set to open contract talks with Ivan Toney despite his eight month ban.

The England striker is not available for selection until January due to breaching Football Association betting rules.

Found guilty of the offenses this week, Toney is out until January and cannot even train for several months of the ban.

Per The Mail, Brentford want to support Toney and get him to commit to the club for the long term.

The Bees believe they can survive half a season without their ace marksman.

Toney has two years left on the contract that he signed worth £20,000-a-week three years ago.
