Chelsea interest another reminder to Newcastle about Ivan Toney mistake
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and their reported interest in Ivan Toney is another reminder to Newcastle United the transfer mistake they made with the English striker.
Toney was on the books of Newcastle from 2015 until 2018, but he did not get a run in the first team.
The 26-year-old had loan spells at Barnsley and Wigan Athletic among other clubs before leaving St. James’ Park for Peterborough United for good.

The Englishman has gone from strength to strength at the Bees and could have even made the England squad for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
Toney has scored 10 goals and given two assists in 14 Premier League matches for Brentford so far this season.
