Newcastle legend Alan Shearer is pushing for his former club to make some big moves in the January transfer window. According to Shearer, the Premier League’s all-time top goalscorer, the Magpies should consider signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney. Toney, who is set to return to action next month after an eight-month ban, has caught the attention of Arsenal and Chelsea, but Shearer believes he would be a perfect fit for Newcastle.
Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, Shearer explained, “I think he’s a really good player and I think he’s a really good option.” He also emphasized the need for improvement in Newcastle’s attack and suggested that Toney would have no shortage of suitors.
If Toney were to join Newcastle, he would add to the attacking options alongside Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak. The possibility of adding goalkeeper David De Gea to the team has also been raised, with Nick Pope being sidelined due to injury.
Despite their recent defeat in the Champions League, Newcastle is currently in seventh place in the Premier League and looking to secure another shot at Champions League qualification. With Shearer’s expertise and backing, it looks like the club could be making some significant moves in the near future.
