It’s all happening, and it feels just like those Alexander Isak claims that all came out of the blue before we signed the Swede from Real Sociedad in August 2022.
Story after story is emerging on Newcastle’s push to sign Hugo Ekitike, and a major update has just landed from Fabrizio Romano after Sky Sports revealed earlier that the club are speaking to the player’s camp to reach an agreement.
A Monday tea-time exclusive from Romano, he reveals that Newcastle have now launched a formal bid for the Eintracht Frankfurt striker.
It’s believed our offer is in excess of the €70m bid Frankfurt have already received from an unnamed club this summer, showing we are serious about getting this one done ASAP.
Writing on X, he’s said: ‘Newcastle submitted an official bid today to Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike!
‘Proposal higher than €70m previously offered by another club this summer with Newcastle pushing to get the deal done. Negotiations underway.’
