Newcastle United target Hugo Ekitike is prepared to cut his holiday short in order to secure his move to St James' Park. Talks between the Reims youngster's representative Karl Mwalako Buchmann and Newcastle supremo Dan Ashworth have been ongoing in the last few days.
But not everything has been agreed on the package with agent fees still not settled. A medical has been set up by United in the event the initial £26.5million deal gets the green light and the club's famous black people carrier vehicle is on standby at the training ground.
As reported by Chronicle Live last week, Ekitike wanted assurances on game-time at Newcastle after breaking into the first-team in Ligue 1 at Reims, and United are keen to ensure he knows that he will be a big part of things, both now and in the future.
