Newcastle United supporters are hoping to avoid a repeat of the Hugo Ekitike transfer saga that played out earlier this summer after links to Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos. The Magpies had the French forward on their transfer wish list since the takeover last year, but the youngster opted to move to PSG instead.
Now, reports are suggesting the two clubs could be set to do battle once more. Newcastle are reportedly set to make a £25million approach for Portuguese striker Ramos - but he's also a target for PSG, according to reports.
Eddie Howe's side have not hidden their desire to bolster their attacking options and can ill-afford a repeat of the Ekitike saga, which was drawn out for months. The Magpies new owners are keen not to be taken advantage of and pay over the odds for players, but with the transfer window fast approaching, they know time is of the essence.
