Gayle will return to Newcastle for the following season, as West Bromwich Albion, to whom he was loaned, will not exercise the purchase option. The English striker scored 24 goals and gave three assists this season.
His good work during the year had all West Brom fans talking about him. The general feeling was that the player would stay in the English entity, but the operation will not occur.
Gayle will go from playing in the Championship to the Premier League. James Shan's team fell in the play-offs for the First Division after losing to Aston Villa.
The 28-year-old English striker began his career at Bishops Stortford. He has not yet played in a big team, but he has created a spot for himself in the English leagues, as he has been important in all seasons he has played.
