Reims’French talent
Hugo Ekitikewith a deal that is worth around £30m. Ekitike has been showing impressive performances, becoming the highest-scoring teenager in Europe's top five leagues this season with eight goals in 17 games which have made the media and the fans start comparing him to the French superstar
Kylian Mbappe.
Newcastle’s manager
Eddie Howe

Watford.
