After one season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, and with good performances, Gayle expected to have more importance in his return to Newcastle United.

As the 'Daily Mail' states, the club would be happy to let him go in January, but it would have to be through a loan with an obligatory option to buy clause, for more than 20 million euros.

This season, in the nine games he has played -and only two he has started- he has only managed to provide one assist. He has not starred as a goalscorer.
