Newcastle United's pursuit of Eddie Nketiah is reportedly now over as Magpies are closing in on another target.
As per the Telegraph, Newcastle are hoping to finalise a deal for Reims striker Hugo Ekitike on transfer deadline day, despite being knocked back earlier in the window.
The Magpies were quoted a fee of £33m when they first approached Reims earlier this month but have remained in touch and now believe they will reach an agreement for the highly-rated 19-year-old.
