Newcastle United are preparing a bold move to sign Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike, as Eddie Howe looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of the new season. Meanwhile, Liverpool have entered the race for Magpies star Alexander Isak, setting the stage for a potential transfer tug-of-war.
Newcastle's Ekitike Gamble
The Magpies have identified Ekitike as a key target, with the 21-year-old Frenchman struggling for game time at PSG. Despite his limited opportunities in Paris, Ekitike's potential has caught the eye of Newcastle's recruitment team, who believe he could thrive in the Premier League.
Liverpool's Interest in Isak
In a surprising twist, Liverpool have reportedly joined the chase for Newcastle's Swedish sensation Alexander Isak. The 24-year-old has been in scintillating form for the Magpies, attracting attention from several top European clubs. Jurgen Klopp sees Isak as an ideal addition to his revamped attacking line.
Transfer Domino Effect
The potential deals could create a fascinating domino effect in the transfer market:
- Newcastle sign Ekitike from PSG
- Liverpool pursue Isak as Newcastle's replacement
- Funds from Isak's sale could finance further Newcastle signings
With the summer window heating up, both clubs are expected to move quickly to secure their targets before pre-season begins in earnest.
