Newcastle and Peterborough expect big payouts if Arsenal sign Ivan Toney.
The Brentford striker has been heavily linked with the Gunners this month.
Arsenal face competition from Chelsea and Tottenham, though, with Toney reportedly valued at a massive £100million by the Bees.
A deal of that amount would see Newcastle and League One Peterborough pocket millions of their sellout clauses.
According to Sky Sports, Posh have a 30 per cent clause included in the £5million deal that took Toney to Brentford in 2020.
Meanwhile, Newcastle would receive 30 percent of that amount after selling the futures contract to Peterborough two years earlier.

Arsenal have complained to PGMOL about Bukayo Saka’s poor response from the opposition.
The Gunners feel Premier League players are not being punished enough for kicking England abroad, avoiding yellow cards from referees.
The issue was raised with Prem’s refereeing body in a verbal exchange last year as part of a normal discussion in which all the big clubs are involved in a campaign.
Arsenal referred back to an accumulation of incidents to make their point heard.
Saka, 22, was the league’s third-most offenders in 2023 with 87, Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew (117) and Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes (92).
The fear was exacerbated by the fact that Saka has been dealing with an Achilles tendon injury for most of the season and was also slowed down in the Champions League tie against Lens on October 3.
As a result, Saka’s form has plummeted, with one goal in her last six appearances in Prem.

But the Gunners legend also advised that the Ghanaian presenter be sacked if a new headline deal was the only option.
Parlor told Danish magazine Tipsbladet: “If they don’t give him the long-term contract he wants, it would be better to let him go.
He has been somewhat injury-prone, and Arsenal probably doesn’t want to put the money on the table that his agent wants.
Therefore, temporarily it would be better to let him pass and bring him cash. It’s about striking the right balance. “
“It’s the same thing they faced with Granit Xhaka; If you lose it, you lose it, and let’s move on.
“But in an ideal world, I think a player like Partey would at least be part of the team if Arsenal need to win the title. “
