Three years after he nearly joined the Magpies, reports from Fabrizio Romano indicate that Newcastle are once again showing interest in the Eintracht Frankfurt attacker and former PSG talent, Hugo Ekitike.

Additionally, two Middle Eastern clubs, Al Hilal and Al Qadsiah, have expressed interest, though Ekitike's priority remains staying in Europe.

His time in the French capital was challenging, but a stint in Frankfurt appears to have revitalized his career, with an impressive XX goals in XX appearances last season. While Newcastle has a history of pursuing long-term targets, the likelihood of this deal going through, especially with Alexander Isak still at the club, is being questioned.

As a prolific young attacker, he has the potential to be a key part of the club's future. Tactically, securing him would also deny rivals like Chelsea and Liverpool a reported target, although Chelsea has already bolstered their attack by beating Newcastle to deals for Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

Ekitike is likely to have numerous suitors who would offer him a starting role as their primary center forward.
