Dwight Gayle made it clear that he wanted to leave Newcastle United on a permanent deal after six years at the club. The striker has signed for Stoke City on a free transfer and penned a two year contract with the Potters.
Speaking after joining the Championship club, Gayle underlined his aims after ending his spell on Tyneside. Gayle told Stoke's official TV channel: "I wanted to move on and have somewhere I could call home and feel like I am fighting for that club. This was a major thing for me.
"I just want to help the team as much as I can. And hopefully and see where it takes us. I just want to score goals and help the team."
