Latest Newcastle United transfer news and gossip with an update on the future of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike

So far, they have signed Lukas Nmecha from Wolfsburg on a free transfer, as well as centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw from the same club. Jaka Bijol has arrived from Udinese while Gabriel Gudmundsson became the fourth addition to the squad last week.

Newcastle United's Sean Longstaff has reacted to Jacob Murphy's social media post amid speculation the pair could both leave the club.

Eyebrows were raised last week when Newcastle were named among the suitors for Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike. The club’s longstanding interest in the Frenchman makes the link unsurprising, but it still caught many off guard given the size of the fee it would take to sign the 23-year-old.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray have already failed with a €70m (£60.5m) bid this summer, but a second proposal worth €75m (£65m) has been submitted to the Italian champions.
