Newcastle is finalizing a $93 million transfer with Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike. The signing of Ekitike would break the transfer record for the club after Alexander Isak\'s €70m arrival three summers ago.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was looking for a striker to play alongside Isak and believes Ekitike will be a great partner and it doesn\'t mean Isak will leave the club.
Ekitike had a great season in Germany in 2024-25 with 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 games in all competitions.
