Newcastle United supporters all say the same thing in response to Ivan Toney claim

Newcastle United fans have been quick to respond to Darren Bent's claim that Ivan Toney is the best striker for England behind captain Harry Kane. The former Sunderland star did not namecheck Callum Wilson as he listed Gareth Southgate's attacking options ahead of the World Cup.

Newcastle's number nine has not been shy it outlining his ambition to force his way into the Three Lions' squad for this winter's tournament in Qatar. Wilson has made a flying start to the season, following up an opening-day goal against Nottingham Forest with an outstanding strike against Manchester City.

The former Bournemouth striker has earned four England caps, but has not featured for his country since 2019. The 30-year-old has finished as the Magpies' top goalscorer for the last two seasons, but has also been plagued by injury setbacks during his time in black-and-white.
