Newcastle United have reportedly named their conditions for Dwight Gayle to go out on loan.
Gayle is wanted by a clutch of Championship clubs who are eyeing promotion to the top flight and he is a prolific forward at that level.
The Daily Mail claims Newcastle have told clubs who are interested that they can take him on loan but only if they agree to a £20million obligation to buy clause in the deal.

Newcastle clearly want to negotiate a good deal for Gayle, who has 18 months left on his contract. They agreed a deal with West Brom back in August that would have seen them bank a £5million loan fee with an agreed £15million further to pay to convert the deal into a permanent one if the Baggies went up.
Gayle turned down the deal in the end, suggesting he wanted a permanent transfer to give him some clarity over his future. Stoke also made an offer in the summer.
While , he has only been involved fitfully for United this season. He was injured for last week’s FA Cup clash at Rochdale but is in contention to play in the replay – and should be involved in Newcastle’s fixture congestion in the coming weeks.
