Nottingham Forest are waiting to snap up Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle.

The Daily Mail says Newcastle are prepared to allow Gayle to leave on loan but with a £20million obligation to buy.

Championship clubs including Nottingham Forest are keen on the 29-year-old.

Gayle hit 23 goals in the Championship last season while on loan at West Brom and is highly-rated as a goalscorer in the second tier.

He has featured just eight times under manager Steve Bruce and is yet to get off the mark for the Magpies this season.
