Toney has established himself as a reliable goal-scorer in the Premier League and Shearer believes that he could have a defining impact on Newcastle during the second half of the campaign.
Although the Magpies have Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson at their disposal, they could certainly use a top-class striker like Toney. Wilson has had his fair share of injury problems and Newcastle need someone to share the goalscoring burden with Isak.

The Swedish striker could complement Toney perfectly with his skill set.
Newcastle will be hoping to secure Champions League qualification and they need to sign quality players in order to finish in the top four. It remains to be seen whether they decide to come forward with an offer for the Brentford striker when the transfer window reopens.
