Middlesbrough are on high alert after news surfaced that Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle is currently training with the academy side ahead of a potential summer move.
Chris Wilder’s side have expressed interest in the 32-year-old and could look to pursue a deal, with the Magpies eager to offload the forward.
Gayle enjoyed a brilliant campaign in the Championship with West Brom prior to his move to Newcastle, scoring 24 goals in 40 appearances.
However, he has struggled to replicate that form into the Premier League and has only managed eleven goals in four seasons at St. James’ Park - making only eight appearances in the league last season.
Here are today’s rumours...
