Ivan Toney has reiterated his desire to play for a "top club competing for trophies" with the Brentford striker set to end his eight-month ban from football.
Toney's last competitive match was in the 1-0 defeat at Liverpool on May 6, but he has been allowed to train with his team-mates since September.
He made his England debut during a European Championship qualifying win against Ukraine last March and has scored 32 goals in 64 Premier League appearances for Brentford.
Toney - who was also fined £50,000 and warned about his future conduct for 232 breaches of the FA's betting rules - has been linked with both Arsenal and Chelsea during the transfer window.
Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports, the 27-year-old has not ruled out leaving the Gtech Community Stadium this month.
"You can never predict when is the right time to move elsewhere, but I think it's obvious I want to play for a top club," he said.
"Everybody wants to play for a top club, that is fighting for titles. Whether it's this January that is the right time to be for a club to come in and pay the right money, who knows?
"But my main focus is to do what I do on the pitch, and let the background work take care of itself."
Earlier on Wednesday, Toney celebrated with a social media post declaring he is "free".
Toney's suspension for breaching Football Association gambling rules is now over - and he could return to action on Saturday in Brentford's home Premier League game against Nottingham Forest.
Head coach Thomas Frank said before his side's FA Cup replay defeat at Wolves on Tuesday night that Toney "will be absolutely on it and ready for Saturday" - and the man himself says he has has plenty of time to reflect since last May.
"I feel like a free man. A massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can't wait to get back to enjoying playing football again this Saturday. It's a big day today but an even bigger day on Saturday.
"My whole family knows what the weekends are about - they travel down to watch me play football. Missing that for eight months is painful.
"It's painful for me knowing I've ruined their weekend. I can't wait to repay them in the next games, pick up where I left off and get the goals back under my belt and give them something to be happy about."
"To a certain extent [there is guilt] but things happen in life. You take it on the chin and you move forward with it. I should have been helping the team but there are other team-mates who have roles to play and step in when needed.
"I feel bad but I can't dwell on it. I can't change what's happened. What's done is done. Hopefully I can now put on a show."
Toney feels everything was paused - but now he can press play again.
"I feel like I lost connection, the Wifi went! But now we're back on again."
Toney says it has been the "little things" he has missed on a matchday, such as walking to the stadium, the warm-ups - even if he admits he hates them - but walking out of the tunnel ahead of kick-off has been visualised ahead of the weekend.
The striker has warned Premier League defences he will make an immediate impact.
"I believe you will see [the real Ivan Toney] straightaway. I'd like to think it will be there straightaway as I've been playing well behind closed doors, training well.
"I feel I can pick up where I left off. I've got nothing to prove to anybody but just to myself I want to focus on starting right and scoring goals sooner rather than later."
In the first four months of his ban, Toney was unable to be at Brentford's training ground or have any physical contact at all with the club.
Toney says that was "painful" and the hardest part.
"You can come a bit lost in the world, but the good job is I had the right people around me to help me get to places to train and do the right exercises.
"When I was working hard away from the pitch, I had a moment to feel sorry for myself but then after that you snap out of it. I hope I've chosen the right way to get back on the pitch.
"When I was back training with the team, I was heading in the right direction."
