Hugo Ekitike hints he has played last game for Stade de Reims amid Newcastle United interest

Hugo Ekitike has dropped a potentially huge hint regarding his future this summer after scoring for Reims in their final game of the Ligue 1 season. It was the 19-year-old’s tenth league goal of the campaign which he paired with four assists in his 24 games.

After January interest – and a reported agreed transfer fee – he could have spent the second half of the season at Newcastle but opted to stay in France. He could make the Tyneside switch this summer instead though with the Magpies reportedly still interested in bringing him to the Premier League.

Given Ekitike’s age and his track record in front of goal this term, United certainly won’t be the only interested team. He dropped a hint on Twitter to any potential suitors after signing off for the season in style.
