Dwight Gayle, who joined Newcastle United from Crystal Palace in the summer, scored twice at Elland Road at the weekend.
Alan Shearer has suggested in The Sun that Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle is unstoppable at the moment.
The former Newcastle striker made the comment following the Magpies’ 2-0 victory over Leeds United away from home at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.
Gayle scored twice for Rafael Benitez’s side, first in the 23rd minute and then on 54 minutes.
The striker has scored 13 goals and created 14 chances in 13 Championship appearances for Newcastle so far this season.
Former Newcastle striker Shearer has praised the 26-year-old, and has said that he has been a brilliant signing.
Gayle joined Championship club Newcastle from Premier League outfit Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.
According to Sky Sports, the Magpies had to pay Palace a transfer fee of £10 million in order to secure the services of the 26-year-old striker.
“Rafa has done some very shrewd business in the transfer market this summer making the club a healthy profit in the meantime,” Shearer wrote in The Sun.
“There has been no better buy than Dwight Gayle at £10million from Crystal Palace. That move bought a guaranteed 20-25 goals in this league for me. He has scored nine in his last six games now and looks unstoppable at this level.”
Newcastle are at the top of the Championship table at the moment with 40 points from 17 matches.
The Magpies are five points clear of second-placed Brighton & Hove Albion and are firm favourites to win the league title this season.
