Newcastle United could reignite their interest in Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike if Alexander Isak departs this summer. Outlet FootballTransfers has reported that the young forward is back on the agenda for the Magpies.

Newcastle United are desperately hoping for a return to Europe ahead of next season.The Magpies - who are currently seventh in the Premier League - have so far amassed 41 points and are just three points behind fourth-placed Manchester City as we reach the business end of the campaign.

One consistent factor has dominated Newcastle United's transfer business ever since the first window under the Saudi-backed owners, beyond that of pure talent. When it comes to identifying targets, age has proved to be the common theme on recruitment.
