Eddie Howe hopes Newcastle can avoid repeat of losing talent like Ivan Toney in future
Daily MailEddie Howe believes Newcastle now have the structures in place that will prevent the failure to recognise and develop the talent of a player like Ivan Toney. Newcastle sold the striker for just £300,000 to Peterborough back in the summer of 2018 Eddie Howe believes Newcastle are better prepared to avoid not spotting talent like Toney Newcastle enquired about the availability of Toney in the summer but were put off by an asking price of at least £40million, although that looks cheap on the evidence of his form this season. Wilson is likely to miss Saturday's visit of his former club Bournemouth and, having previously stated his ambition to win a place in England's World Cup squad, those hopes would appear remote given his injury and the emergence of Toney. Toney will be hoping to prove himself in time to make Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad Newcastle enquired about Toney in the summer before signing Alexander Isak 'I'm a firm believer in him and his abilities, and I know Gareth is the same.
