da bet nacional： According to the Express & Star, Dwight Gayle has hinted at a return to West Brom next season per quotes the striker made about his future. However, if the club go up they should stay away from signing him.
What’s the word?
Last summer, the £10.8m-rated Gayle joined West Brom on loan and since then he hasn’t looked back, scoring 21 goals alongside Jay Rodriguez for the Baggies. He’s been a fabulous signing and the player now seems keen to return to the Hawthorns next season.
From quotes per Express & Star, the striker was asked whether he’d like to return next season. His response was simple: “Yes, of course.”
The 28-year-old added: “I’ve really enjoyed the season and the fans have taken to me and showed great support. in the summer, I’m going to see what happens but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here.”
Gayle signed a new deal with Newcastle as recently as last summer but then soon made the switch to the Hawthorns on a temporary deal.
Stay away
It’s safe to say that Gayle is an absolutely wonderful player in the Championship. This season tells you all you need to know in that regard. However, his record in the Premier League is pretty terrible for a forward and should the club get promoted they need to look for better alternatives.
That alternative could be in the form of Salomon Rondon who has more than proved himself at the top level on loan from the Baggies at Newcastle in 2018/19.
Across Gayle’s previous two terms in the Championship, he’s scored 44 goals for both the Magpies and West Brom. Compare that to the Premier League and he managed just six goals last term. Before that he mustered just 15 across three seasons.
It’s clear where he’s best and that isn’t in the Premier League.
Gayle has quickly become a fan favourite in the Midlands, but West Brom can’t bank on him to find the back of the net regularly should they find themselves in the top flight again.
