His transfer fell through. This Thursday morning, Newcastle is dropping big checks all over the place!”>Hugo Ekitike was announced with insistence on the side of Newcastle by various British sources. Sky Sports even assured that the Stade de Reims had agreed with the Magpies for an operation of an amount of around 30 M€. But in the afternoon, The Team taught us that the player, “in agreement with his entourage“, had finally refused the British advances, preferring to end his first season as a professional within his amateur club rather than leaving prematurely in a project, certainly flashy, but perhaps unstable.
Revelation of the season in Ligue 1
The choice of Hugo Ekitike and his representatives is completely understandable. Since the start of the season, the young striker from Reims has distinguished himself on the lawns of Ligue 1. Author of 8 goals and 2 assists in 18 appearances in the French league – with, among other things, great performances against Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille – the Frenchman is one of the revelations of this first part of the 2021-2022 exercise. It is not surprising to see several clubs interested in his profile. However, they will have to wait for the next transfer window to secure his services. To the delight of Reims supporters.
