Newcastle United are pushing hard to secure a deal with Reims for Hugo Ekitike this summer. The teen, who turns 20 later this month, has been a long-term target for the Magpies, with a deal agreed back in January before the player snubbed a move to Tyneside.
Newcastle have wasted no time trying to resurrect a deal, challenging the likes of Borussia Dortmund and PSG for a player labelled as one of the most promising in France.
Chronicle Live understands that the deal between Newcastle and Reims is structured slightly differently to January's offer.
