Newcastle United could be set to land a big fee for Dwight Gayle.

Newcastle United must consider Chinese clubs being interested in Dwight Gayle to be good news for them, if they are still looking to maximise his value.

Rafael Benitez appears to have doubts over using Gayle in the Premier League, despite his brilliant scoring record in the Championship.

Gayle has found things difficult in the top level of English football throughout his career, and Newcastle allowed him to leave on loan this summer.

Gayle has made an impressive start to life at West Bromwich Albion, which has attracted the interest of Chinese sides, according to The Sun.

And that could work out perfectly for Newcastle, as they could now get a high price for Gayle.

Chinese clubs have had a tendency to spend over the odds on players in recent times.

The likes of Hulk, Jackson Martinez, Oscar and Graziano Pelle have all moved out to China and commanded big fees.

Gayle’s value in England is likely to have a cap, due to his struggles in the Premier League, but with sides from China now coming in for the forward, Newcastle could yet receive a real cash wind-fall for the finisher.
