Toney ready to give best if he chooses Reggae Boyz

While not giving hints on his international future, Reggae Boy target Ivan Toney says that he is committed to give his best to whichever national team he decides to play for.

The 24-year-old Brentford striker is reportedly on the radar of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) as part of a list of English-born players who they are interested in bringing into the Reggae Boyz fold ahead of a critical year, which includes the 2021 Gold Cup tournament and the final round of World Cup qualifiers, starting in September. Everton's Mason Holgate, Bayer Leverkusen's Damari Gray, Southampton's Nathan Redmond, Newcastle United's Isaac Hayden and Ranger's Kemar Roofe, who just captured the Scottish title, are among the other names that the federation is looking to add to the team.

Next season

Speaking on Brentford's YouTube Show, 'The Warm-Up' on Friday, the Northampton born Toney, while humbled at the interest from both England and Jamaica, says that his focus is on getting his championship side promoted to the Premier League next season and will be committed to whichever team he ends up playing for.

"I just want to see the season out and do as well as I can for Brentford. But whether it's Jamaica or England, I will do my best for whoever and whomever I decide to go with," Toney said. "But the main thing is getting promoted and doing what I can for the team."

Toney is currently the league's top goalscorer with 25 goals this season and Brentford are currently in fourth place with 63 points, three points adrift from the second automatic promotion spot currently held by Watford.

When asked about the chances of him switching allegiance, Toney said that he would not rush into a decision on his international future.

"Who knows what's to come? It's flattering that there are eyes looking at me from both sides. But I will have a strong discussion with my family, and we'll choose the more suitable choice," Toney said.

Brentford went to the Championship play-off final last season but were beaten by Fulham who are currently at the bottom three of the Premier League. Brentford will hope to improve their chances for an automatic berth when they travel to 15th-place Blackburn Rovers on Friday.
