Fulham are eyeing Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle.

The Mirror says Newcastle risk losing Gayle to Fulham — if the Cottagers' £20million deal for fellow Toon striker Aleksandar Mitrovic falls through.

Serbia international Mitrovic is just two days from a return to training on Tyneside - where he has no future under boss Rafa Benitez - because the long-standing transfer has yet to be completed.

The Magpies are keen to raise cash from the sale of Mitrovic, who spent the final three months of last season on loan at Fulham, helping the Londoners win promotion via the play-offs.

Personal terms are said to have been agreed but nothing has been finalised between the clubs, although progress is anticipated this week.

Gayle is a fall-back option for Fulham, who have also been linked with Brazilian striker Willian Jose.
