Hugo Ekitike

SkySports are now saying we've held positive talks with Hugo:

Seems like we're getting closer to our first signing of the summer

Seems not to be too keen on coming to the toon so I wouldn`t touch him with a barge pole, totally wrong mentality to sign a player who`s not sure if he wants to come

Why do you think he's not keen? I can completely understand why he didn't want to come in January but from what i've read he does now and it's just taking time because he's away at the France under 21 tournament

Hope you`re right Albert, just read quite a few reports saying he`s not keen on north of england. Having said that, every man and his dog seem to think they know what`s happening re us and transfers. When I see a player in our shirt I`ll know they`re here.

BBC are saying we're in talks but "there is a long way to go" so who knows?
