The logical sense is that he's class and Benzema won't be around forever.

I've been saying big clubs are keen since January, but they can't offer 1st team yet. Newcastle can.

And as you said that is our bargaining chip.

It’s a win win for him to come to us. He signs, gets game time and performs and the big boys come knocking aka (Haaland).

But by this point we will be becoming a big boy.

You can’t replace one of the world best strikers with Ekitike mate. No matter how much of a prospect he is.

But accept he may be an option for the future.

But Ekitike had made it clear he wants game time and I don’t believe he would get it at any top European clubs. Yet!

You don't know how good he is but the scouts of all these clubs have seen he's got something.

We're not now though.

It depends on what he chooses not what me or you think.

If you ask me though I'd say if he gets the chance to go to Madrid Dortmund psg or Bayern he'll go there, but he might want 1st team football which is newcastles only hope if those clubs do ignite their interest.

I don't care what you've seen if all those clubs scouts think he's worth big money at 19 then he's good.

We don’t know they do think he’s worth big money though. I’ve seen nothing tangible to suggest any of the big clubs are interested other than Twitter nonsense.

You think newcastle are struggling to sign him because Plymouth and Sunderland are sniffing around do you?

You haven't got a clue Roland mate.

The boy can clearly play.

At this point in time, from what I've seen, the kid looks like a sprinter more than a footballer. He is very good at dropping the shoulder and he does have some good footwork but his first touch, passing and finishing has a lot of work to be done.

My issue with kids of his stature is when they get told to have a roast dinner and a couple of yorkshire puds to pack some beef on they lose a yard of pace. But We'll see what happens.

I agree with this. I think the kid is good and has massive potential.

Great for someone like us because we are on a journey.

To go to a world class side would limit his first team action. But I agree the pull is there if indeed the interest is.

But I don’t know if the interest is there from top football clubs.
