Former Everton midfielder Dan Gosling agrees to join Newcastle United - report

FA Cup: Dan Gosling, Everton v Liverpool (PA)
Former Everton youngster Dan Gosling is believed to have verbally agreed to join Newcastle United.

The 20-year-old had reportedly agreed verbally to continue plying his trade at Goodison Park, but an administrative error that saw the Toffees fail to offer a written deal before the deadline meant that the player could walk away for free.

The club challenged this, but a Premier League tribunal decided that the England Under-21 international could leave the Merseyside club on a Bosman transfer as his deal with the Blues had expired.

The Toffees still have a little under two weeks to respond to that ruling, but in the meantime, The Northern Echo reports that the former Plymouth Argyle man has now verbally agreed to join the Magpies.

It has been speculated that the Tyneside club have handed the midfielder a four-year deal worth £25,000-a-week.

If Everton succeed in their appeal with regard to Gosling's status, it would entitle them to receive compensation from Newcastle for the transfer of the youngster.
