Newcastle United are closing on a deal for Northampton Town teen Ivan Toney.

The 19-year-old striker has caught the eye of Premier League and Championship clubs with his performances for the League Two side and was close to joining Wolves last year.

But the Magpies have now swooped for the promising forward, and he is expected to become Steve McClaren's first signing as Newcastle boss if the £300,000 deal can be confirmed

Toney made his Football League debut aged 16 back in 2012, becoming Northampton's youngest-ever player.

He has 11 goals for the Cobblers.
