Desky: Ekitic creates more opportunities suitable for Newcastle tactics, and his scoring ability is not as good as Isaac

German Sky Sports said that Ekitic has a stronger ability to create opportunities than Isaac, but has a weaker ability to score in front of the goal.

Newcastle striker Isaac is preparing to leave this summer, so Newcastle is preparing to sign Ekitic as a replacement. According to German Sky Sports, Newcastle had previously offered Ekitic for 80 million euros, but was rejected by Frankfurt, who insisted on asking for 100 million euros.

German Sky Sports pointed out that the 23-year-old Ekitic is a very comprehensive player. He is 190 cm tall and can serve as a fulcrum for the frontcourt offensive, and can hold the ball and distribute it well. At the same time, Ekitic can also use his speed to create threats on the wing and create good scoring opportunities for teammates.

Ekitic has similar athletic ability to Isaac, but Isaac is faster and has stronger scoring ability in front of goal. However, Ekitic created stronger opportunities and participated more in the team's offensive organization, which also made Ekitic very suitable for Newcastle's game tactics that focus on ball control.

Last season, Newcastle encountered offensive difficulties when facing tight defense opponents. Isaac's game style was too single, while Ekitic's playing style was more flexible and changeable, and he could find more creative offensive solutions and create opportunities on his own. However, in terms of shooting stability and quality, Ekitic cannot completely replace Isaac. If Isaac leaves this summer, Ekitic will not be able to fill the gap in scoring at Newcastle.
