Hugo Ekitike has been tipped to become a 'top striker' and play for a 'top' club after his deadline day move to Newcastle United fell through.
That is the verdict of Stade Reims boss Oscar Garcia, who will be delighted to keep hold of the 19-year-old for at least another few months.
Newcastle actually had a big-money bid accepted for Ekitike late in the window, but the Frenchman ultimately decided to stay put to effectively reassess his options in the summer.
