Newcastle United are pushing ahead with their attempt to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike in the hope of pairing him with Alexander Isak next season.

The Swedish striker has three years left on his contract at Newcastle, with Liverpool assessing the situation and a potential bid this summer

Newcastle want Ekitike. Liverpool want Isak. Is there a world in which selling one and bringing in the other makes sense for Eddie Howe?

Newcastle United will look to rub salt into the wounds of Liverpool in the transfer market this summer with a ruthless transfer move.

Newcastle’s pursuit of Hugo Ekitike has hit a roadblock after Eintracht Frankfurt turned down their opening bid and demanded improved terms.

Liverpool have made an approach to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The Merseyside club say no formal offer has been submitted as they are well aware Newcastle’s stance has always been that Isak is not for sale. However, they have communicated their interest to do a deal in the region of £120million.
