Newcastle signs Gosling after his Everton exit

Premier League newcomer Newcastle has signed Dan Gosling following the midfielder's exit from Everton on a legal technicality.

The 20-year-old Gosling left Everton when his contract expired at the end of last season and a tribunal ruled that he could move without a transfer fee despite his age placing him outside the usual conditions for a free transfer.

Everton had not put its verbal offer of a new contract to him in writing.

Gosling says ''it's a brilliant move for me.''
