PSG close to agreement on Newcastle target Ekitike


Paris Saint-Germain are close to a full agreement to sign Reims striker Hugo Ekitike.

The deal will be subject to Ekitike passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.

Newcastle came close to signing him both in this and the January transfer window - but finalising a deal proved problematic.

The move could have an impact on Gianluca Scamacca's future at PSG, with the striker having been linked with a switch to West Ham.

Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali has confirmed West Ham have made a bid of €40m plus add-ons for striker Scamacca.

PSG have also made a bid of €35m plus add-ons. West Ham are awaiting a response from the Italian club, who are thought to value the player at €50m.

Carnevali says they don't have to sell and that there is no agreement with any club.
