    Ekitike, 21, has not been named in PSG Champions League squad meaning he won’t face Newcastle on Tuesday night.
    So far this term the striker has made just one appearance for the Ligue 1 side and scored only four goals since his arrival from Reims in 2022.
    And the Frenchman is now open to leave in January and is ready to draw a line under his frustrating start in Paris.
    Newcastle alongside other Premier League clubs will have their eye on the striker who is keen on a move to top-flight English football.

    According to Caught Offside, Financial Fair Play is pushing the Magpies to opt for a loan deal rather than a permanent transfer.
    The report also claims Newcastle are insisting on the temporary move as they are “wary” of the French flops underwhelming performance.
    It has been claimed that if an offer of around £30-35million arrives the French Champions will “strongly advise” the player to agree.
    Reims had originally accepted Newcastle’s offer for Ekitike in 2022, but the forward stalled the transfer.

    PSG recruited the former U20 star on loan last year with an option to buy but his move was said to have a mandatory £30million purchase which kicked in this year.
    Despite the deal, the French side tried to sell him during the summer due to his slow start.
    Frankfurt and Zenit made a bid but the forward was rejected by him and his agent Karl Mwalako Buchmann as they wanted a move to the Premier League.
    But again a deal failed to be agreed at Crystal Palace, West Ham and Everton despite their best efforts to win his signature.
    With Luis Enrique’s side now growing frustrated of Ekitike a move in the new year is on the cards as the Spaniard no longer sees him fit as a footballer or personality. More

    Our #PickYourPunt selections: Jack Grealish to score, Phil Foden 1+ assists, over 3.5 goals and over 9.5 shots on target in the match.
    Here’s why we’ve picked those selections…

    Jack Grealish to score: The winger has seen very little minutes in the Premier League – in fact just 32 mins in the last three games. But he’s had 90 minutes in the last two Champions League games and was subbed on 71 mins in the reverse fixture of this game. Needs to make presence felt.
    Phil Foden to assist: He has three assists in 13 league games. Has played the full game in five consecutive games for club and country, though always the risk that Pep can do his thing and make changes. But is City’s creative spark.
    Over 3.5 goals: There have been 19 goals in City’s last four games. The hosts have also scored an average of three goals in this competition so far. Four goals scored in reverse fixture.
    Over 9.5 shots on target: A total of 17 shots were on target in Germany when the sides last met. City’s firepower could see this land by the half time break. Will also give chances away.

    However, the teenager is ineligible to play in the Champions League until MarchCredit: Rex
    Camarda was introduced in the 83rd minute of AC Milan’s clash with Fiorentina to replace Luka Jovic.
    But despite impressing fans during his short on-field cameo, the striker will not be able to represent the Italian giants in the Champions League.
    A key Uefa rule states that a player cannot make his debut before the age of 16 and without a professional contract.
    Camarda will not turn 16 until March, meaning he will not be able to make his Champions League debut until then.

    Furthermore, he would have also been ineligible to represent AC Milan in the club’s remaining group stage games due to a red card received during a Uefa Youth League clash with PSG Under-19’s earlier this month.
    It means that the teenager will not be available to face Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday or Newcastle next month.
    Camarda’s parents were in tears as they watched their son make his senior debut for AC Milan on Saturday evening.
    Rossoneri won the match against Fiorentina 1-0 thanks to a goal from Theo Hernandez.

    This comes as no surprise as the star forward is a world-class athlete that completely understands the Merseysiders’ manager Jurgen Klopp’s genius tactics.
    And it’s obvious the Egypt international is a big fan of strategy as he has adopted a fun and sophisticated hobby outside of the field.
    The 31-year-old revealed he is passionate about chess and plays “literally every day”.
    Sometimes the ex-Roma star goes undercover online to play against other people but uses glaring hints on his username which hint at his real identity and spark questions from the other participants.

    Salah told Sky Sports: “I play chess, I am addicted to chess. Every day, literally every day.
    “I put my name and some numbers so some people they ask, ‘Are you Mo Salah’?
    I say, ‘Yes’, they don’t believe it and say, ‘You are lying’, I say, ‘Yes I’m lying.’
