Newcastle United have entered the summer transfer market in search of a new striker and have identified Bundesliga talent Hugo Ekitike as their prime target. The 22-year-old forward, currently on the books of Eintracht Frankfurt, has emerged as a key name linked with the Magpies as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Ekitike, who joined Frankfurt from Paris Saint-Germain, has impressed with his pace, technical ability, and eye for goal, catching the attention of several clubs across Europe. Newcastle are believed to be particularly keen on the Frenchman as they seek to add more depth and competition up front.
While a few other Premier League sides are reportedly monitoring Ekitike’s situation, no formal approaches have been made so far. Newcastle, however, appear to be leading the race and are expected to push forward in their attempts to bring him to St James’ Park.
