Newcastle United are considering joining Arsenal and Chelsea in their pursuit of Brentford’s Ivan Toney.
According to TEAMtalk, Ivan Toney is on Newcastle United’s radar for the summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old Brentford star is likely to leave the club at the end of the 2023–2024 season, with Arsenal and Chelsea both reportedly keen on him.
Newcastle will need quality players in various positions when the summer window opens. Whether Eddie Howe stays or goes, the Magpies will look for reinforcements in the market, especially a new striker.
Callum Wilson might want to leave as he enters the final year of his contract, and the Magpies might be willing to let the 32-year-old go to balance their books.
Newcastle have now set their sights on Brentford’s Ivan Toney, joining several other suitors for the 27-year-old forward. It would be a huge signing if they could land the England international, but they will face stiff competition.
Newcastle might have the financial muscle to meet Brentford’s demands. But as he enters the final year of his contract, they will try to take advantage of his contractual situation.
The Magpies could have a great chance to sign the Brentford star in the summer if the other suitors back off.
Toney has been linked with Arsenal for a long time, and they would have the upper hand if they make a move. The Brentford star is said to prefer the Gunners over other clubs, but Mikel Arteta’s decision will ultimately matter.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are looking for a new No. 9 and have their eyes on several top strikers, including Victor Osimhen.
