Newcastle United face major Premier League competition for Reims striker Hugo Ekitike.

Newcastle have made a move for Ekitike this past week, but their approach has flushed out rival interest.

Le 10 Sport says West Ham are also keen, along with Watford.

Indeed, the Hammers are readying a €35m offer to tempt Reims into parting with the young striker.

This season, Ekitike has scored eight goals and produced three assists in 17 games.
