Newcastle have completed a surprise deal for Everton runaway Dan Gosling.
The England under-21 starlet had talks with Bolton Wanderers, West Ham and Sunderland before opting for Toon in a switch worth £5.5million to him over four years.
Gosling was allowed to leave Goodison for nothing because of an administrative blunder by the Mersey men, who had verbally offered him a new deal but crucially had put nothing in writing before a Premier League deadline.
He would have earned around £15,000 a week at Everton but is picking up closer to £25,000 a week on Tyneside because there is no transfer fee involved.
Newcastle were the only one of the interested clubs to promise £4m-rated Gosling that they would sign him even if they have to pay a transfer fee once an Everton appeal is heard.
Toon rushed the deal through even though the midfielder will miss the first three months of the season following knee surgery.

Newcastle will this week finally complete the signing of Everton's out-of-contract midfielder Dan Gosling after a weeks delay.
Toon were ready to announce his signing last week but had to pull the plug because Everton were still claiming he was under contract.
The England under-21 international this week made a hush-hush visit to Dublin to link up with Toon at their training camp a move that is bound to infuriate Everton.

Skysports.com understands Newcastle are poised to sign former Everton youngster Dan Gosling in the next 24 hours.
As exclusively revealed by skysports.comat the start of July, Newcastle
were lining up a shock move for Gosling
following a contract wrangle at Everton.
Gosling and his representatives are on Tyneside to put the finishing touches to his move to St James' Park.
The England Under-21 international arrives at Newcastle on a four-year deal after leaving Everton on a free transfer earlier this summer.
The Premier League ruled earlier this month Gosling was free to leave Goodison Park
after the former Plymouth youngster was not given a new contract offer in writing.
Everton claimed they offered Gosling a rise verbally, but nothing was sent to him by the due date and he was allowed to leave for nothing.
Gosling, who is currently recovering from a knee injury, is set to become Newcastle's second signing of the summer following the arrival of James Perch
from Nottingham Forest.

Aye, also depends on the severity of the injury and getting the right rehab for it, else the player will subconsciously try to compensate and then you end up with him getting injuries elsewhere (how Hargreaves did himself in after breaking his leg - plus the silly idiot didn't tell anyone just how much pain he was in for a couple of seasons etc.).
He also has one thing on his side and thats his age. Hes only 20 and will really want to get back playing football. Come January/February time he should be ready to play.
There's a lot more to it than Everton and the papers have said. It wasn't all about money, playing time and position etc he hasn't been treated too good as of late by management there.
The NUFC fan that suggested he would be at right-back... he won't be. One of the things he stated when making his move was that he wants to be a central midfielder.

Larsson's also an example of how it could go really well as well!
No, not at all. He did want more money, and he did want to play at CM more but this was nothing to do with Rodwell (unless you factor in that Rodwell was offered 10k per week more).
Gosling left because of the treatment he was receiving first and foremost; not to do with the contract and position he was playing.

Dan's The Man For United
NEWCASTLE United have today confirmed the signing of Dan Gosling, with the young midfielder signing a four-year contract at St. James' Park.
The 20-year-old becomes the Club's second signing of the summer following the arrival of James Perch from Nottingham Forest, and has been handed the number 15 shirt.
After signing on the dotted line with the Magpies, Gosling said: "It's a brilliant move for me. Now that the deal is done I just can't wait to get started.
"I've played at St. James' Park before and know all about the amazing atmosphere. Playing there in a black and white shirt is something I've thought about already and it will be a great day when I finally get to walk out in front of 50,000 people.
"The gaffer Chris Hughton and all of the lads have been great with me and made me feel really welcome since I arrived and hopefully I can repay the faith that they've shown in me."
The former Plymouth Argyle star moved to Everton in January 2008 having made his debut for the Pilgrims aged just 16.
Gosling made his Toffees debut against Middlesbrough on Boxing Day 2008 and scored his first senior goal just two days later in a 3-0 win over Sunderland.
Further cameos followed but it was his 118th-minute winner in an FA Cup fourth round replay against Liverpool which brought his name to the fore, with the strike voted Everton's 'Goal of the Season'.
Devon-born Gosling also made a brief substitute appearance in the FA Cup final against Chelsea, and his last appearance for the Blues came in March 2010 when a knee injury sustained against Wolves kept him sidelined for the rest of the season.
United manager Chris Hughton said: "We're delighted to have signed Dan. He's the right age and the profile that he has is what makes it such an appealing capture for us.
"He's young but has Premier League experience and he's someone who can continue to develop his game.
"We see him as a high-energy player and a player that can play from box-to-box, but he's also a young player with experience, so he won't be phased by what is ahead of him."
As a youngster he was spotted by Plymouth playing in the under-12 side of his hometown club Brixham United and in December 2006, at age 16 years and 310 days, he made his professional debut against Hull City.
Internationally, Gosling earned himself an England call up for the UEFA European Under-17 Championship Qualifying Round in March 2007.
He was also included in the under-17 squad for the 2007 European Championships in Belgium and in the summer of 2009, Gosling was called up for the final squad to participate in the under-19s European Championships and started every game, scoring against Ukraine in the group stages.
He made his under-21 debut against Portugal in November 2009.
