Club will tell their ‘amazing’ player to leave if Newcastle bid £34m for him in January

Newcastle United could now reportedly have a chance to sign PSG youngster Hugo Ekitike in the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old striker has been linked with a move to the Magpies for what feels like forever, with transfer links once again emerging between Newcastle and Ekitike this week.

With Newcastle in the market for a young attacker, Ekitike could finally be signed by Eddie Howe having been linked with a move for the attacker for the past 18 months.

Praised as an ‘amazing talent’, the forward has made just one appearance in all competitions for PSG this season, with a January transfer most certainly on the cards for Ekitike.

And Newcastle can be an ideal destination for Ekitike, especially with how long the Premier League side have been linked with a move for the former Stade de Reims superstar.

Ekitike’s move to PSG has been nothing short of a disaster, with the attacker yet to show that he could be a potential superstar in the making despite his spell at Reims.

As a result, Newcastle could now be on the striker’s mind, and the Magpies must really consider launching a bid to sign the 21-year-old Frenchman in January.

Newcastle need attacking reinforcements if they’re to once again finish in the top-four, and Ekitike could be a perfect signing for such a job.

Moreover, Howe’s track record of improving players at Newcastle could see Ekitike transform into a sensational forward in the Premier League.
