Newcastle United transfer target Hugo Ekitike wants further assurances he will be more than a just player "for tomorrow" at St James' Park.
As reported earlier this week, Chronicle Live understands that Ekitike's agent Karl Mwalako Buchmann has been told that the young star will get his fair share of time on the pitch. But it is still something the Reims ace would like to discuss further before committing to the club he turned down only in January.
The Magpies are keen to crank up talks for the 19-year-old but will have to find a way of accommodating him in Eddie Howe's starting line-up ahead of a crunch week of discussions. Ekitike still has other interest, with Borussia Dortmund on the list, but Newcastle are hopeful of concluding a £25.6million deal for the player sooner rather than later.
