DONE DEAL: Stoke sign Newcastle striker Gayle

Stoke City have signed striker Dwight Gayle from Newcastle United on a two-year contract.

The 32-year-old scored 34 goals in 122 game for the Magpies, who he joined from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2016 in a deal worth a reported £10m.

He is Stoke's sixth signing of the summer but the clubs have not disclosed whether any fee is involved.

"Dwight's track record, particularly in the Championship, is exceptional," said Stoke manager Michael O'Neill.

"There were a number of clubs chasing him so we are really delighted he has chosen to join us."
