According to the '90min' website, Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike, who has been dropped from the first team squad, will try to leave the club this winter. Newcastle are keen to sign him, while Crystal Palace and West Ham are also in the race for his transfer.

Hugo Ekitike, who came close to leaving PSG last summer for Eintracht Frankfurt, has been sidelined from the first team squad since the summer, with no call ups and no minutes played for Luis Enrique's side.

Brought in for €35 million from Reims a little over a year ago, the 21-year-old striker has failed to fit into his new coach's plans and is likely to endure a very long season.

But his plan remains to leave the club as soon as possible. According to the '90min' website, the PSG striker has several Premier League clubs interested in him and will be looking to sign for them in January.

Newcastle are very interested in signing him, but Crystal Palace and West Ham are also in the race for the youngster.
