Newcastle stops its great signing
Hugo Ekitike and his departure to Newcastle was a blow to the table in these early stages of the summer in the transfer market. The Magpies had arrived with speed to get ahead of Dortmund and convince the young Frenchman, with whom they had agreed a five-year contract and the only thing left to do was to resolve his future with Reims.
Now everything is stopped. During the match with France, the player had a new hamstring injury and, according to Fabrizio Romano, the signing is being delayed. His agent was expected to be in Newcastle on Monday after the deal with Reims, but this has not been the case.
The Italian journalist assures that the signing could continue to be delayed and even that Newcastle is looking for an alternative to the French player.
