Steve Bruce comments on Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle

Steve Bruce has admitted that he is concerned with the situation of Newcastle striker Dwight Gayle. He adds that Gayle has been a ‘big disappointment’ for him since he arrived at St James’ Park.

Newcastle had the option of selling Gayle, who was out on loan at West Bromwich Albion last season, this summer but Bruce kept faith in the 28-year-old.

The former Hull City boss spoke highly of Gayle when he joined Newcastle and did his best to keep hold of the player despite rumours he could leave for £20 million.
