England footballer Ivan Toney has been formally charged with assault following a nightclub incident in London, according to police reports released on Friday. The charge of assault, which resulted in actual bodily harm, was filed against Toney on July 31 in relation to an alleged incident that occurred in December at a nightclub in the Soho district of the city.

The police have not disclosed further details about the nature of the incident. Toney's representative confirmed the charge, expressing shock at the allegations but affirming his intention to prove his innocence in a court of law.
