When you think of weekend nightlife, you picture music, bright lights, and footballers enjoying their break.
What you don’t expect is England international Ivan Toney being escorted out in handcuffs. Yet, that’s exactly what happened in a London nightclub—and the sports market is buzzing!
According to reports, the Al-Ahli striker was simply out with friends before things took a dramatic turn.
Witnesses claim a group of excited fans noticed Toney as he walked by. One enthusiastic fan allegedly reached around his neck, trying to force a selfie.
And in the blink of an eye, the vibe changed.
Toney reportedly tried to shake the man off, saying: “Get off me, get off me!”
Moments later, he allegedly delivered a headbutt that left the fan with:
A bloodied nose
Facial injuries
A damaged ring finger
Not exactly the souvenir you hope to get from meeting a Premier League–level footballer.
But to be fair, the witness also said Toney might have felt threatened, especially considering how flashy he looked that night. A superstar making half a million a week in Saudi Arabia will always attract attention—wanted or not.
Within minutes, multiple police officers stormed the nightclub.
They approached Toney’s table, confirmed his identity, and—according to eyewitnesses—immediately placed him in handcuffs.
The Metropolitan Police later confirmed they arrested a 29-year-old man on:
Two counts of assault
One count of affray
Toney has been released on bail as investigations continue.
London Ambulance Service reported that they treated three people at the scene and transported one victim to the hospital.
The injured reveller reportedly suffered:
A broken nose
Additional facial injuries
Thankfully, none of the injuries are life-threatening.
Scandals involving big-name players always shake up the sports market, especially when they involve players who command huge salaries and global attention.
Fans are talking
Clubs are monitoring
Pundits are reacting
And betting markets are adjusting
