As West Brom’s season came to a dramatic end last night, loanee striker Dwight Gayle seemingly said his goodbyes to the Baggies on Twitter as he prepares to return to Newcastle.
West Brom fans have clearly grown attached to the forward following his 24-goal season, much like Newcastle fans have warmed to Salomon Rondon and the message from both sets of fans is clear: they want a swap deal.
What West Brom's play-off defeat means for Newcastle United's potential Salomon Rondon deal
West Brom were beaten on penalties last night by arch-rivals Aston Villa, despite winning 1-0 on the night. Gayle didn’t feature following his red card in the first leg, but that hasn’t deterred Baggies fans from wanting the striker back at the Hawthorns next season.
It is clear what both sets of fans want, and seemingly the players themselves, so it now comes down to whether the clubs can reach an agreement.
Here’s what fans had to say on Twitter.
