Gayle Ends Contract with Stoke
Dwight Gayle, the former Premier League star, has officially terminated his contract with Stoke, making him a free agent. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the news.
Struggles for Minutes at Stoke
Gayle has had a difficult season at Stoke, struggling to secure playing time. In 14 appearances, he managed only one assist, which led to his fall down the pecking order.
A Record Signing for Crystal Palace
In 2013, Gayle made a name for himself as Crystal Palace's record signing, joining the club for £4.5 million. During his three-year tenure, he scored 25 goals and provided three assists in 74 appearances.
Success at Newcastle and West Brom
Gayle's success continued when he moved to Newcastle for £10 million. He played a crucial role in helping the team regain promotion to the Premier League, scoring 23 goals in 32 Championship games.
However, Gayle struggled to secure a permanent spot in the Newcastle lineup and was subsequently loaned out to West Brom for the 2018-19 season. He was the top goalscorer for the club during their play-off run, scoring 24 goals and providing eight assists in 41 appearances.
A Move to Stoke and Potential Interest from Rangers and Celtic
After spending three more unremarkable seasons at Newcastle, Gayle returned to the Championship with Stoke in 2022. Now that he is a free agent, there is speculation that both Rangers and Celtic could be interested in signing him. However, Gayle's wage demands may still be a factor in any potential deal.
