Despite already having a skilled goal scorer in Isak, Newcastle's manager, Eddie Howe, wants to add Ekitike to the team. Ekitike, who is 23 years old, had a strong season in Germany and caught Newcastle's attention.
After Joao Pedro rejected a move to Newcastle and joined Chelsea instead, the club is now focusing on securing a deal for Ekitike. Newcastle is reportedly willing to pay Ekitike's £86 million release clause to sign him before other top clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
The goal is to pair Ekitike with Isak to create a strong attacking duo for Newcastle. With Ekitike's skills and Isak's experience, the team hopes to improve their chances of success in the Premier League.
