Super-talented striker may still move to England.

Yugo Ekitike is a 19-year-old striker of the French Reims, who is given huge loans for a successful career development in the near future.

The forward in the current season for 20 matches played (1054 minutes) managed to score eight goals and four assists, which only fueled interest in his person.

However, representatives of League 1 are not particularly in a hurry to make contact with teams wishing to acquire their football player, therefore, in particular, the first transfer offer from the English Newcastle was rejected.

The Magpies were forced to retreat in the negotiation process for a while, but on the last day of the winter transfer window they sharply raised the level of interest in young Ekitika.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle are now trying to put the squeeze on Reims on the issue of the transfer of the French performer with Cameroonian roots, and Sky Sports employee Keith Downey has information that a letter was received at the headquarters of the English club in the morning approving the deal.
