Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are interested in signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, and they have opened discussions to sign the attacker.
As per reliable French journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are currently in talks with Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Hugo Ekitike, who will cost them €80-100 million. The Frenchman has 34 goal contributions this season, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for all three clubs.
Arsenal have struggled to score this season, and they need a reliable striker. The 22-year-old could be a superb acquisition for them. He could prove to be an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.
The French striker has proven himself in Germany, and he will look to make his mark in English football. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal are ready to break the bank for him. The Gunners will be to win the title and the UEFA Champions League next season. They need quality attackers at their disposal, and the young Frenchman could transform them in the final third.
Chelsea and Liverpool want Ekitike
Meanwhile, Chelsea need an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson and have their sights set on Hugo Ekitike. The former Villarreal striker has shown improvement this season, but heis not good enough to lead the line for a club like Chelsea.
The Blues will be hoping to win the league title or a major trophy. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea decide to break the bank for him. Meanwhile, the reported €80-100 million asking price is quite high, and the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool will have to improve the other areas of their squad as well. It will be interesting to see if they can negotiate a reasonable deal for the player.
Finally, Liverpool need an upgrade on Darwin Nunez, who has failed to live up to the expectations since the big-money move from Benfica. Liverpool are expected to sell the South American in the summer, and they will need to replace him. Ekitike would be a solid acquisition for them, and he could fill the void left by Nunez.
All three clubs could provide the 22-year-old with the option to compete at a high level and fulfil his potential. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
