Newcastle United's move for Hugo Ekitike has broken down according the latest reports. A number of outlets are claiming the Magpies have been put off by the agents 'crazy demands' ahead of a proposed transfer.
It's a disappointing development for Eddie Howe's side, if it does indeed turn out to be true, but it also puts pressure on the young forward's representatives. Real Madrid and PSG are also reportedly chasing the signature of the young 20-year-old, but it's at Newcastle where he would stand the best chance of playing.
The striker turned down a move to St James' Park in January, believing it was best to continue his development with Reims for the remainder of the campaign. However, Newcastle entered negotiations for Ekitike again this summer, so far to no avail.
