Newcastle to be reunited with 'monster on a mission' amid transfer price tag question

Ivan Toney will be looking to make it two for two when he returns to St James' Park once again. The former Newcastle United striker scored last season on his first return to Tyneside, and has begun the new season on a 'mission'.

Toney netted 12 times in his debut season in the Premier League, and already has five goals from just eight appearances this term. It is a sensational start which was rewarded with a maiden international call-up last month, although the striker is still waiting to earn his first England cap.

Questions were inevitably raised over Toney's brief stint in black-and-white, much of which was spent on loan elsewhere. The now 26-year-old insists he holds 'no hard feelings' over his exit in 2018, but revealed the transfer to Peterborough United gave him the motivation to prove his former employers wrong.
