Considering the success of summer signing Ivan Toney at the U-21’s, I think it’s only a matter of time before the Toon hierarchy dip into the lower league market once again.

With that being said, here’s a list of five lower league gems the Magpies should pursue over the coming months. I’ll be taking Championship, League One and League Two players into consideration.
