Brentford are in the process of investigating a viral video on social media where their striker Ivan Toney is heard using abusive language towards the club.
As per the BBC, Toney said: "F*** Brentford."
Amid a lot of backlash from fans, 25-year-old issued the following statement: "I am aware of a video of me that was published on social media today, taken in Dubai where I have been on holiday during the winter break.
"In it, I used language that was unacceptable.
"The video was cut short and edited but I have to accept the impact this has had and I realise I shouldn't have put myself in that position.
"I have explained to the gaffer what happened and apologised to him but I also want to apologise to all Brentford fans.
"I respect the way you all support the club and I have to say how much I love playing for the club and for you."
