Brentford boss Thomas Frank is impressed by Ivan Toney's ability to deliver on the pitch despite the threat of possible disciplinary action for allegedly breaching betting rules.

Toney has until January 4 to respond to a Football Association charge relating to 262 alleged breaches, yet he showed no sign of being a player under pressure as he found the net in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Boxing Day.

Frank has spoken to the 26-year-old striker at length and is confident ahead of Friday's London derby against West Ham that he is in the right frame to mind to perform.
