Hugo Ekitike's agent has vowed that he will make sure everyone remembers the Stade de Reims striker's name as talks continue over a move to Newcastle United.
Newcastle, of course, have already reached an agreement with Reims to sign Ekitike after revisiting a move for the highly-rated youngster. Ekitike did not feel ready to join Newcastle back in January, after only making his debut for Reims a few months previously, but, tellingly, the Magpies were not discouraged from returning to the negotiating table.
Newcastle's latest offer for Ekitike was accepted by Reims earlier this month and the total package with potential add-ons is believed to be around £30.6m although this would not be paid up front. Ekitike, whose season only finished less than two weeks ago, after representing France under-20s at the Maurice Revello tournament, is currently on holiday and his agent, Karl Mwalako Buchmann, remains in talks with Newcastle on his client's birthday.
