Newcastle United aren't panicking as they continue talks to close a deal for Reims striker Hugo Ekitike.

Newcastle are pushing to reach an agreement with Reims for the France U21 international.

The Toon have offered €30m for Ekitike, who is happy to make the move to Tyneside.

The Daily Mail says there's a confidence of closing a deal with Reims for the striker.

An injury setback suffered while with France U20 last week for Ekitike isn't expected to hold up the switch.
