Brentford striker Toney 'buzzing' over Maupay partnership

Brentford striker Ivan Toney is enjoying his partnership with Neal Maupay.

The pair have clicked since Toney's return after serving his betting ban.

It's good to play next to a striker that knows your game, and I feel like Neal knows that already," said Toney.

I'm just buzzing for him to get his goals recently, because he deserves it.

Playing up front with him is interesting. We both know what we need to do to win, and we both know what we need to do to rattle people, to get in people's heads, and to help win games.

When we first started playing together, it was quite an immediate connection. I watched him before I joined the club and, with strike partners, sometimes you just know.

We're different strikers, so I'll get stuck in for him and put him in behind, and he knows that when I get the ball, he just has to make the run in behind because I'll find him.

He's a nice person as well, we can be around each other and chill, it's not just an in-work thing. We just clicked straight away. He's like a little son! I take him under my wing and get him plenty of goals."
