Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

Meanwhile, Newcastle have no intention of reviving their interest in French wonderkid Hugo Ekitike after the player rejected a move to Tyneside last summer in order to sign for Paris Saint-Germain instead.

 

Ekitike, 20, has struggled for game time in Paris and is believed to want a move away from the club at the end of the season.

 

Newcastle, though, have since signed Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad and were unimpressed by Ekitike's behaviour after they agreed a fee with his French club Reims in July last year.

 

Despite a deal being verbally agreed, the player’s representatives delayed completing the move in order to engineer a transfer to PSG instead

 

From the Luke Edwards article about ASM & Longstaff being back in training.

My heart is now set on Ugarte.  He reeks of being elite.

 

If we can't afford Rice, this is where I am too.

If the rumoured price is 50m then we’d be getting a bit of a dud in Ugarte. As I’ve said before, he’s so frustrating to watch; dawdles too much on the ball and even in acres of space he’ll usually give a hospital pass to players right next to him. If Howe can get him to look up and pass through the lines quickly, he could become a decent 6 for our system but you’d hope you’re getting somebody ready-made for that kind of fee.

I'll be shocked if it isn't City or Chelsea, but...

We wouldn't disrupt our wage structure for him, methinks. And I'm doubtful about his fitness, especially under a Howe intensity regime.

Fati is finished*, man. Injuries have destroyed his pace and agility.

 

*as a world class prospect I mean. Still obviously young enough to forge a very good career for himself but I’d hope we’re not in for him at that price. Guy’s living off his initial hype at the moment.

Sadly I have to agree with this - it’s a huge risk given his lack of football

K. Thuram looks a like real talent though imo.

I would love for us to sign him, since we've been linked I've watched him a few times

 

He's not just a sitting midfielder, he's quite dynamic so would give us options to play about that midfield rather than someone who would just sit as a pure 6

OK, that potential Vitor Roque transfer has me fully engorged.

 

If we could pull that off (so to speak), it would be an enormous statement to the rest of the footballing world. He is a world class prospect. Insanely exciting player.
