Ivan Toney's England debut didn't land his former club a big pay out

Ivan Toney's England debut didn't land his former club a big pay out

Toney made his international debut towards the end of the Euro 2024 qualification win against Ukraine at Wembley.

Ivan Toney made his England debut on Sunday evening but, contrary to popular belief, the Brentford striker didn't earn his former club any money.

It's been as good a week for Gareth Southgate and his England team as one could have expected at the beginning of a qualification campaign.

Harry Kane became the team's all time top goalscorer on Thursday night and the team picked up all three points in their toughest fixture in the whole campaign, away to defending European champions Italy.

They followed that up with a pretty routine victory over Ukraine at Wembley, with Kane once again on the scoresheet, and the always impressing Bukayo Saka getting the second.

The Three Lions manager was even able to hand James Maddison just his second cap, and his first start for the country, although that came at the expense of Phil Foden, due to his surgery.

On top of that, Toney earned his maiden cap for the national team, having previously missed out on any game time when called up to squads.

The striker came on for the final nine minutes, replacing Kane, leading to fans speculating that the substitution had earned former club Peterborough United a bonus, due to a clause in his 2020 move to Brentford.

However, Peterborough director of football Barry Fry has denied that it's the case. "It’s a load of rubbish," Fry told talkSPORT in a typically frank manner.

"We sold Ivan for £6m, we wanted £10m. We got £6m up front and further add-ons for everything we are up to £9.7m now.

"The deal is capped at £10m, plus the sell-on, we’ve got nothing for him coming on in the last 10 minutes.

“The deals I’ve done previously, you have to start a game to get paid. We wouldn’t have got it anyway if we had it in the transfer agreement.

"We haven’t got it in the transfer agreement, but we are delighted for Ivan. Wonderful man. Wants to listen, wants to learn and wants to improve all the time.

"He’s the best centre-forward we’ve had at the Posh. He’s a very humble guy and deserves everything he’s got.”

Toney scored 40 goals in League One over two seasons for the Posh, earning him a move to then Championship side Brentford.

His goals for the Bees got them into the Premier League and he has continued to impress for them, earning his call up to Southgate's side.

He missed out on the World Cup and may have to wait for his next cap, as he awaits the conclusion to the investigation into his betting on football, in which he has plead guilty to some charges.
