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.
