Sky: Newcastle is interested in Lance youngster Ekitek, and the transfer fee will be close to 30 million pounds

According to Sky Sports, Newcastle is interested in bringing in Lance youngster Hugo Equitek, and the transfer fee will be close to 30 million pounds.

Newcastle has already started talks with Reims, who hope to bring in a striker ahead of their weekend game against Watford. Ekitek made his Lance debut in August and so far this season, he has scored eight goals and three assists in 17 Ligue 1 games so far, and the 19-year-old can still play on the left.

It is understood that the two clubs have had an active dialogue, with a total transfer price of nearly £30 million, and Newcastle is now ready to send an official offer.

With main striker Wilson two months out of injury, Newcastle is now looking for a replacement, with Ekitek, Solank, Hick, Chris Wood, Origi and Azmount all out in a scandal with the Magpies.

Sky Sports said Newcastle could even sign two strikers before the winter window closes. At present, Newcastle has not yet offered Burnley's Wood, Liverpool striker Origi still has a six-month contract, he has attracted the attention of many Italian teams, but he prefers to stay in the Premier League.

Sorank has scored 19 goals for Bournemouth this season, having previously signed him by Eddie Howe. Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, wants £50m on Heick, making a deal unlikely.
