Ivan Toney, a striker for Brentford, has been accused of violating 232 betting laws, according to the Football Association.
The allegedly violated dates range from 25 February 2017 through 23 January 2021.
The 26-year-old Toney has 10 Premier League goals this season but was not selected for the England World Cup team.
Brentford said in a statement: “The club has been in discussion with Ivan and his legal representatives. Those conversations will continue privately.”
The statement continued: “We will make no further comment until the matter has been completed.”
Toney has until November 24 to answer to the FA misconduct allegations, which entail suspected violations of FA rule E8, which prohibits players from sharing confidential information with one other or with other parties for the purpose of betting on games.
If they are confirmed, he might be subject to a lengthy suspension. In December 2020, England defender Kieran Trippier received a 10-week suspension from the FA for providing information to enable others to wager on his transfer from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid.
Manager Joey Barton received a five-month suspension in 2017 after confessing to betting on football 1,260 times over a ten-year span.
