Newcastle losing ground to Milan duo in battle for Reims striker Hugo Ekitike

Newcastle United are losing ground in the battle for Reims striker Hugo Ekitike.

The French youngster attracted a €40m offer in January from Newcastle and they intend to try again this summer.

However, RMC says AC Milan and Inter Milan are also interested and are edging ahead of the Toon in the race for Ekitike's signature.

The striker is preparing to leave Reims this summer.

Last season, Ekitike scored 11 goals and produced 4 assists in 26 games.
