Newcastle United boss Hughton confident everything above board in Gosling deal

Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton is confident the club have done everything above board in relation to the signing of Dan Gosling from Everton.

The Toffees made a glaring administrative error by not offering Gosling a new deal on paper but rather agreeing with a handshake only for the promising 20-year old midfielder to leave Goodison Park and sign with the Magpies.

Hughton says that Newcastle have done nothing wrong in the transfer of the England U21 international.

“We are fortunate to have signed Dan and we are delighted to have him on board,” he said.

“We are 100 per cent sure that we’ve done everything appropriately."
