It’s been busy in the French rumour mill this summer, with various media outlets seemingly in some kind of war for ratings.

Unfortunately for all the growing personalities, France’s biggest summer story, Neymar signing for PSG, was actually broken in Brazil. However, claims from France have been non stop with agents seemingly ready to provide a string of ‘updates’.

One of those on Tuesday evening involves Fulham and Newcastle United.

France’s RMC claim Fulham have offered €16m for Dwight Gayle, and that offer has been accepted by Newcastle.

Presenting it as their own information, RMC say Gayle will be leaving Newcastle and is off to join the Championship club.

Why would a French source reveal a big scoop about an English player moving from Newcastle to Fulham? It’s a good question, and if there’s anything in it, the likelihood is an agent has been sharing information which has then found its way to the French media.
