Newcastle United have closed the door on selling striker Dwight Gayle on transfer deadline day.
The Magpies have been prepared to consider selling Gayle and have received a substantial offer from Championship side Fulham for the hitman.
But according to BBC Radio 5 live, Newcastle have now chosen not to sell Gayle and will keep hold of the striker.
As such the goal-getter will not be making the move to Craven Cottage, leaving Fulham disappointed.
Gayle scored 23 goals in just 32 Championship games for the Magpies last term and has been linked with several clubs in the second tier, though Fulham were the only side to lodge a bid.
