Newcastle United winger Ivan Toney concedes he's suffered some homesickness.

Toney has revealed he has had to contend with some homesickness since his summer move from Northampton to Newcastle.

"My mum's not there to do everything for me, so I've got to be a big man for myself, Toney told BBC Radio Northampton.

"The football's obviously a bit different tempo-wise but I've managed to adapt to it and I'm enjoying it."

Regarding homesickness, he added: "(There has been) a little bit, (and) missing my family a lot but other than that it's all right."
