Jesse Lingard has re-emerged as one of Newcastle United’s main deadline day targets as the proposed move for Hugo Ekitike is becoming increasingly complicated.
Reims were reported to have accepted a bid of between £20m and £25m for the young French striker but the player is unsure of making such a significant move at just 19 years of age.
Eddie Howe clearly wants further attacking reinforcements before the transfer window closes and Lingard now looks to be top of his wishlist.
