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.

And according to CaughtOffside, PSG could now be open to selling the French youth international if a club were to make a bid worth €40m (£34m) in January.

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.
