Premier League clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal are tracking Eintrohat Frankfurt attacker Hugo Ekitike.
The 22-year-old French forward enjoys an impressive season, scoring 21 goals and averages goals and supporting every 103 minutes.
The impressive shape of Ekitike encouraged Frankfurt to set a considerable asking price.
Bundesliga Club reportedly seeks a fee of 100 million euros (£86.5 million), according to Sport Bild.
Interested Premier League club scouts attended to watch Ekitike with Tottenham Hotspur in Frankfurt’s recent Europa League quarterfinals and scored a goal in a 1-1 draw.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United and Newcastle United are interested in the moves of Bundesliga attackers, who are currently in their seasons of life.
Frankfurt aims to surpass Paris Saint-Germain’s previous record sales for Randall Colomúani at €95 million in 2023.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Ekitique’s situation is closely monitored by clubs seeking to bolster their offensive options.
Frankfurt sold Omar Marmash to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side in the winter transfer window, and in the summer they managed to lose other offensive players to one of the top clubs in the Premier League.
Will Liverpool win the Hugo Ekitique race?
Liverpool was the club most linked to attackers as they were about to replace Darwin Nunes in the summer transfer window.
European clubs know that Premier League teams have the power to spend large amounts of money. That’s why they set the price of Ekitike so high.
It is still unclear who won the race to sign players, as every club interested in him needs a new attacker.
Arsenal is in a good position to fight Liverpool for Ekitique’s signature as they are ready to spend a lot of money on new attackers this summer.
Liverpool will be “in the mix” to sign two defenders from the same Premier League club
