Ivan Toney leaves Newcastle United for Peterborough United

Newcastle United have confirmed that striker Ivan Toney's three-year spell at St James' Park has come to an end, having agreed a deal with Peterborough United.

The 22-year-old, who joined the Magpies from Northampton Town in 2015, managed just two Premier League and two EFL Cup appearances for the club.

After being sent out on loan to Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town, Scunthorpe United and Wigan Athletic, Toney has now taken the chance to leave for League One side Peterborough on a permanent basis.

Toney scored 14 goals in 46 appearances across spells with Wigan and Scunthorpe last season.
