Fulham have submitted a club-record £18m bid for Newcastle forward Dwight Gayle as they look to mount a serious promotion push, following the £7.5m sale of Sone Aluko to Reading.
The Sun reports that Newcastle are currently weighing up the offer, which would be a club-record deal for Slavisa Jokanovic's side, but are also reluctant to sanction any deal for Gayle without getting a replacement in beforehand.
