NEWCASTLE manager Chris Hughton has invested in potential yesterday as he finally clinched a deal for former Everton starlet Dan Gosling.
The Magpies are delighted to have snapped up the 20-year-old on a free transfer after exploiting his complicated contractual situation at Goodison Park.
He follows Nottingham Forest utility player James Perch, 24, with Hughton investing in players he believes will develop and increase in value over the course of their contracts.
Gosling, who will wear the number 15 shirt, has signed a four-year deal, although it will be several months before he is able to pull on the black and white shirt as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.
