A whole host of Newcastle United fans are buzzing on Twitter with Luke Edwards’ fresh transfer update.
Newcastle managed to bring in a new striker earlier in the transfer window when Chris Wood arrived for £25 million, but not being satisfied with that, Eddie Howe and PIF have seemingly pushed for more attacking options.
Who is a better striker?
Ekitike!
Wood!
Hugo Ekitike looks set for a deadline day move to Tyneside, with Luke Edwards reporting that a bid had been accepted, despite talks having started and ended between Newcastle and Reims earlier in the window.
A lot of Newcastle fans on Twitter are excited with this transfer claim.
What have these Newcastle fans been saying?
“the excitement begins”
“unreal stuff”
“Edwardddds at the back posssssst!”
“Insane window if we land this kid. I’d love Lingard though. And another centre half and a left back. Too much to ask for?”
“….can’t cope with deadline day excitement.”
“Luke edwards at the back post. lol”
“will cry if we actually get this over the line he’s a wonder kid”
Ekitike is still just 19 years old, but boasts a rather impressive record in Ligue 1 this season with eight goals in just 18 appearances, so being able to learn his craft in the Premier League from strikers who have been around for years such as Wood and Callum Wilson could be the best way for him to grow and develop.
