Newcastle United's winter transfer target Hugo Ekitike will leave Reims this summer - according to club president Jean-Pierre Caillot.
The 19-year-old centre-forward was subject of a huge bid from United back in January but the youngster preferred to stall on the move. Now Caillot has announced the sale is ready to be pushed through for the French club's exciting striker.
But he has name dropped some of Europe's big guns during an interview with the French media including Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. United are certainly in the market for another forward but with West Ham also thrown into the mix by Reims, it remains to be seen how this one unfolds.
