So long as he's coming to play alongside Isak.

Yes - which is an option

If we start bidding above 65m, I’ll start getting worried though.

Aye, new contract for Isak, then announce Ekitike.

Shields Tatoo Parlour Death Queue, sounds like a Sam Fender tune.

I’d just seen him the previous evening, otherwise I’d have recommended it!

My phone repeatedly tries to autocorrect his name to Skittles.

That's his fake persona when shopping at Sven's.

He's the one the Geordies like

Lethal as a lightning strike

Hugo, Hugo Ekitike.

Huuuugo Equipment, no-one really knows his name.

 

 

[ExiledGeordie]

We’re not paying 80m ffs 😂😂 considering all the positions we need to cover this summer 

[Novocastrian]

Hope he goes to Chelsea, just to piss off Delap and Joao Pedro.

[elbee909]

Coming up with crap chants is the death knell of any hope of a transfer

They're apparently asking for 80 - 100 million Euros as a starting point.

 

Likely to be more towards the 80 million Euro end if they're open to selling, which German clubs tend to be.

 

80 million Euros is around £69 million. An offer of £60 million + £5 million in add ons is likely to be considered. They sold Marmoush to Man City for around that fee.

[Optimistic Nut]

If we see him as Isak's replacement then I'd pay that. Long as we're getting £100m plus for Isak next year.

One Hugo Skittles, there's only one Hugo Skittles

I’m all in for spunking out transfer budget on a backup who is still very much in the ‘unproven and a potential knacker’ camp.

[Terrymac1966]

Shit striker way overpriced and already failed at top level....move on

I'd class him as proven now. Don't we'll sign him, though

Could have said the same about Isak before we signed him

I wouldn’t tbh - a decent season in Germany and still uncapped at 23.  It has all the hallmarks of ‘flop’

[Pablo123]

I politely disagree. I wouldn't use the international caps as a benchmark. He might just be a cunt, which is the most concerning thing, because he's clearly talented

Which is fair enough, and I don’t doubt that the lad is talented.  Potentially a massive weapon, mind.

Incomparable....chalk with cheese

[ponsaelius]

Olise was uncapped until last year as well and now he's a key player for France and Bayern. I don't think being a forward player and uncapped for France is a particular slight on a player. 

 

My only doubt on him would be that Frankfurt have a good record of giving a platform for forwards and inflating their values. However that would be clearly mitigated by the fact we've wanted him since he was 19.

 

If you could get him for similar fee to Isak it is an absolute no brainer imo. His career path is extremely similar to Isak's tbh.
