Ivan Toney is an incredible story of redemption, secret scouting missions and misunderstandings. Former Brentford striker Toney’s England career looked well and truly over as he had been left out in the cold since his appearance as an 88th minute substitute in a friendly defeat to Senegal last June. That ended badly with Toney unhappy, Thomas Tuchel saw no future for him and, even three months ago, the idea that the No9 could be on the plane to the World Cup could not gave felt more ridiculous.
