Newcastle are preparing to face Fulham on Saturday in the English top flight. They have made a poor start, while reports suggest they want a reunion with Ivan Toney.
Newcastle sit 13th
Newcastle have won three of their nine games in 2026/27, drawn two and lost four, leaving them 13th in the English top flight. Fulham are two places and two points below Newcastle and would leapfrog them with a victory.
After Matthias Jaissle began his Premier League tenure, Newcastle drew 2-2 with Liverpool and Bournemouth and beat Tottenham 2-0. Their results also include 4-1 defeats by Leeds United and Coventry City, plus 1-0 defeats by Aston Villa and Everton at St. James' Park. Newcastle have scored 12 league goals in 2026/27, while Ipswich Town have scored 14.
Reported Toney reunion
Reports suggest that Jaissle wants to reunite with Toney. Jaissle coached him at Al Ahli before moving to Newcastle to replace Eddie Howe.
Toney's reported weekly salary is €490,000 (£410,000). Flashscore's reporting says Newcastle would apparently be interested in persuading Toney to link up with his former Brentford colleague, Yoane Wissa.
Toney's record and availability
Toney is 30 years old and an England international. He has scored 85 goals and provided 18 assists in 108 games in all competitions, and received an 8.5 Flashscore rating in a game against Al Gharafa.
It is understood that Toney has been a long-term target for Manchester United. January is the earliest point at which Toney could move.
Woltemade's current loan
Newcastle hired Nick Woltemade, who scored four goals in his first five games and is now on loan at Juventus.
