Championship club West Brom look set to renew their interest in Dwight Gayle in the January transfer window – and it could allow Steve Bruce to strengthen his Newcastle United squad.

At present United are oversubscribed with players who fit into their Premier League 25-man squad, with the likes of Henri Saivet and Jack Colback still at the club but unable to play.

Should Bruce want to do business in the winter window, he’d need to see players leave the club. Javier Manquillo, Ki Sung-yeung, Yoshinori Muto and Gayle are the players most likely to face the St James’s Park chopping block.
