Liverpool could STEAL Newcastle's Hugo Ekitike alternative | OneFootball

Liverpool to boss Newcastle once more?

Since the Magpies stepped back from their interest in Ekitike earlier this week, presumably as a result of Liverpool deciding to enter the race, they have decided to target Brentford's Yohan Wissa.

This was according to David Ornstein at the time, although whether the Bees are still willing to sell the Congo international is still unknown, since Bryan Mbeumo is now set to join Manchester United.

But even if Wissa remains on the market, Newcastle will have to keep their wits about them because according to BBC Sport, Liverpool are interested in him and the Reds might outplay them once again.

Their report said: "Liverpool have also checked in on Brentford's Yohan wise and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins as they work through a range of striker options."
