With the Magpies striker saga now seemingly heading for its conclusion, it seems Stade de Reims forward could now become a Newcastle player, just a few months after turning down an initial deal.
The 19-year-old is said to now be in 'advanced talks' with Eddie Howe's team, as the former Cherries boss looks to improve his attacking arsenal heading into the 22/23 campaign. At just £26million, the player could sign a five-year-deal with United.
But with Ekitike's agent at first 'not convinced' by the project in place here in the North East, just what has changed in the second half of the 21/22 season? Well, the Magpies were terrific, to put it bluntly, climbing well away from their initial relegation woes.
