The Newcastle United marksman saw his good work rewarded recently.

Dwight Gayle is loving life at Newcastle United following a £10 million move from Crystal Palace in the summer.

The 26-year-old striker has netted 11 league goals in 12 games as Newcastle sit top of the Championship and looking on course for a return to the Premier League.

Four of those goals came in October as the Magpies won every Championship game in a month which illustrated just how good Rafael Benitez’s side are.

Consequence of his form, Gayle has won the PFA Fans’ Championship Player of the Month in what was a landslide win, picking up over 9,000 votes of the 12,000 that were cast.

The man himself thanked said fans on Twitter this afternoon, and Newcastle team-mate Jamaal Lascelles acknowledged his red-hot form in the response.
