# Newcastle United: Magpies targeting Ivan Toney

**Newcastle United are reportedly now targeting a stunning move for Ivan Toney in the summer.**

### The Lowdown: After Newcastle…

After a few loan spells away from St. James’ Park, Toney was sold to Peterborough United back in 2018 for just [£351,000](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-toney/transfers/spieler/251664).

Now, he is currently rated at [£31.5m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-toney/profil/spieler/251664), after banging in 14 goals and making a further five assists in 32 games in total over all competitions for Brentford so far this season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-toney/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/251664/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

### The Latest: Newcastle target

Writing in his latest piece for [The Daily Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/04/19/newcastle-united-target-brentfords-ivan-toney-darwin-nunez-snub/?utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1650364353), journalist Luke Edwards has revealed that the North East club are now looking to target Toney this summer.

It looks as if they will miss out on Benfica striker Darwin Nunez, as he wants to play for a club in European competition, and so Toney is seen as a good alternative.

### The Verdict: Get it done

Although not entirely successful on Tyneside, where he made a mere [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-toney/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/251664/plus/0?saison=&verein=762&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) senior appearances, Toney is a different animal now, and would certainly be a signing that would excite the Toon Army.

Described as a ‘[special, special](https://www.westlondonsport.com/brentford/frank-hails-special-toney-and-gives-injury-updates-on-dasilva-and-mbeumo)‘ player by his manager Thomas Frank, the Englishman has finally proven that he can perform in the Premier League, after scoring [goals for fun](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-toney/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/251664/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in the lower divisions.

At 26 years of age, he is about to enter his prime, and so now is the perfect time for the Magpies to pounce on his signature.
