'Unprofessional' Hugo Ekitike slammed after PSG start with Newcastle potentially dodging bullet

Hugo Ekitike has been accused of being unprofessional since joining Paris Saint-Germain after Newcastle United's failed transfer pursuit this summer. The Reims loanee has only played in 64 minutes across five games for the French giants this term after snubbing a move to the Magpies during the summer.

Ekitike has only been introduced off the bench in Ligue 1 and PSG boss Christophe Galtier insists the 20-year-old will enjoy more game time 'soon'. However, former PSG star Eric Rabesandratana has taken a different view, slamming the winger for his start to life in Paris.

Speaking to France Bleu Paris, the former defensive midfielder says Ekitike has 'mental weaknesses', isn't focused on football and is half-bothering with training due to his lack of game time.
