Leeds United target Ivan Toney admits he regrets not making most of his loan spells while at Newcastle United

Brentford striker Ivan Toney has admitted regrets at not making most of his loan spells while at Newcastle United.

The 25-year-old joined the Magpies in August 2015 from League Two’s Northampton Town, but made just two first-team appearances for them. Toney spent most of his Newcastle career on loan at Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town, Wigan Athletic and Scunthorpe United before getting sold to Peterborough United in the summer of 2018. He bagged 40 League One goals in 76 games over two seasons before joining Brentford last summer.

Toney has since scored 29 Championship goals in 40 appearances for the London outfit as he eyes top-flight promotion, and he has since attracted the likes of Leeds United, West Ham United and Arsenal as a result.
