Toney has only a year left on his contract at Brentford Community Stadium, so his future has been the subject of incessant conjecture in recent months.
The 27-year-old remains a target for Newcastle United, with ESPN claiming just a few days ago that Eddie Howe has urged the club to buy a number nine this summer, and the England international is one among the names on the English’s wishlist.
The Magpies are reported to be battling with the likes of West Ham United and Chelsea for the centre-forward’s signature (TBR Football), although it remains to be seen if Newcastle would be ready to meet Brentford’s asking price, with GiveMeSport saying last week that the the Toons baulked at the Bees’ £60m demand.
While it is uncertain where Toney will finish up this summer, it appears likely that he will leave the West London club, with the striker now turning to Instagram to say that he will ‘always remember’ the reception he had when he returned from his ban.
He wrote: “This season has been personally challenging, especially being unable to help the boys during the early stages of the season. Stepping back on the pitch and receiving the support I did in January was a moment I’ll always remember! Thank you for your support throughout the season! [Bee and red heart emoji]”.
Given Toney’s contract situation, I don’t see Newcastle United paying more than £45 or £50 million for him. However, Newcastle’s plans may change if they receive a substantial offer for Alexander Isak or Callum Wilson
