“I liked Arsenal but I’m a Liverpool fan” - Premier League striker makes honest confession

Premier League star Ivan Toney has revealed that he is a Liverpool fan. It was previously reported that the Brentford striker was an Arsenal supporter, but he claimed he just liked the Gunners but has always been a fan of the Anfield side.

Toney was on The Diary Of A CEO podcast when he said that he has always been a Liverpool supporter. The striker was linked with a move to the Gunners before they signed Gabriel Jesus last summer.

Speaking on the podcast, Toney said:

However, this is not the first time Toney has revealed his support for the Reds. He spoke with Total Media in 2021 and said:

When quizzed if he would accept a bench role at Liverpool or become the main striker at a club like Leeds United, Toney replied:

Ivan Toney is still serving an eight-month ban from football and will be back on the pitch in mid-January 2024.

Ivan Toney admitted to 232 breaches of the FA's rules on betting earlier this year. The Brentford star was expected to be handed a massive punishment, but was banned from football for eight months.

Releasing a statement on Twitter following the announcement, Toney wrote:

Toney was also fined £50,000 by the FA for breaching the betting rules. In the hearing, it was revealed that the breaches took place between February 2017 to January 2021.
