Newcastle United are closing in on the signing of Hugo Ekitike, having had an offer accepted by French side Stade de Reims.
After spending the month in negotiations with Reims' president Jean-Pierre Caillot, Chronicle Live understands that the Magpies have had a transfer offer accepted for Ekitike on deadline day, which values the deal at around €30million for the initial fee and €10million in potential further bonuses.
Having already completed the signings of Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood and Bruno Guimaraes this month, United are hoping to wrap up deals for Ekitike and a number of other targets including Dan Burn and Matt Targett.
