What Eddie Howe previously said about Hugo Ekitike is now very interesting after Newcastle renew interest

Newcastle United had hoped to sign Hugo Ekitike for the past two years, but the French forward chose Paris Saint-Germain instead. Now, as Ekitike struggles for playing time in PSG, Newcastle is considering making a third attempt to bring him to St James’ Park.

With injuries to Isak and Wilson, the Magpies are in need of a young striker, and Ekitike remains a viable option, despite his previous rejections. Eddie Howe, while expressing disappointment in 2022, harbors no bitterness and acknowledges the competition with top clubs. Despite Ekitike’s challenges at PSG, Newcastle still sees his potential and is considering a fresh move in 2024.
