Dwight Gayle

Dwight Gayle has completed a £10 million move to Championship side Newcastle United.

The 25-year-old completed a medical in Newcastle yesterday, and joins the new relegated side.

Gayle scored 25 goals in 74 appearances for the Eagles during his three seasons in SE25.

He has signed a five year deal at Newcastle.

"It's a dream come true to be at a big club like this," said Gayle to the official Newcastle United website.

"Newcastle has a massive fan base and a great history so it is amazing to be here.

"I can't wait to get started, prove myself and score the goals that take us back up to the Premier League. It's where this Club belongs."

Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez added: "Dwight is a great player, a proven goalscorer, and it is fantastic news that he has joined us."
