The news of the young Brentford striker being charged by the FA comes on the same day a former Premier League player was jailed.
Former Premier League footballer John Carew, who played for Aston Villa, Stoke City and West Ham, has been jailed after a court in Norway found him guilty of tax fraud on Wednesday, November 16.
The 43-year-old former Valencia forward was sentenced to one year and two months in prison in regard to charges of tax evasion.
