PSG are expected to finalise a deal for Reims striker Hugo Ektike in the coming hours, according to reports. Newcastle United were embroiled in a transfer saga for the 20-year-old that stretched back to January.
Toon chiefs were knocked back by Ekitike on deadline day six months ago but renewed their interest after securing Premier League survival. However, another snub came last month despite a deal being agreed with Reims.
The French U20 international - who enjoyed his first season as a professional in 2021-22 - is now expected to join the Ligue 1 champions. A star-studded dressing room will see him compete against Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar for a place in the PSG line-up.
