Brentford
The soccer club's striker Ivan Toni has once again failed to appear in the team's playing roster, which has sparked widespread concern among fans and the media. In response to Toni's absence, the team's head coach, Thomas Frank, said in an interview that it was largely due to the continued impact of transfer rumors.
Explaining Toni's absence, Frank made it clear that "the situation is the same as last week and our decision remains unchanged due to the festering transfer rumors." He further emphasized that Tony himself has been performing well in training and does not have any issues with his fitness, but the club prefers to focus on the upcoming matches and the players who are playing for the team at the moment.
Although Frank did not directly reveal exactly where Toni is headed, according to journalist Ben Jacobs, a transfer agreement has been reached between Ivan Toni and Saudi giants Jeddah National. The news certainly provides a reasonable contextual explanation for Toni's absence and signals that the forward player is about to embark on a new chapter in his career.

His performances have been in the limelight and his goals and assists have been crucial to the team. However, as the transfer rumors intensified, it was inevitable that his mentality and form were affected to some extent. In this case, Frank chose to keep Tony away from the game for a while, perhaps to allow him to better handle his personal affairs and transfer matters, while also considering the stability and future development of the team.
