Manchester United and Arsenal are in competition for Hugo Ekitike, as the former PSG forward could be a key figure in the upcoming summer transfer window in the Premier League.
The impressive performances of Hugo Ekitike in the Bundesliga have caught the attention of Manchester United and Arsenal. According to Sky Sport Germany, the Eintracht Frankfurt striker (22 years old, 38 matches, 19 goals in all competitions) is one of the Red Devils’ priority targets as they look to strengthen their attack this summer.
High Price Set by Frankfurt
Arsenal, also in search of a striker, considers Ekitike an alternative to Alexander Isak (Newcastle) or Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig). The London club sees him as a more affordable option, but Frankfurt is not willing to let go of their in-form forward cheaply. The German club is reportedly demanding at least €80 million to release their rising star.
PSG to Benefit from the Deal
Ekitike is not the only name on Manchester United’s shortlist, as they are also exploring other profiles like Viktor Gyökeres (Sporting CP), Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig), and Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace).
With two Premier League giants in the race, the upcoming summer transfer window could be a busy one for the former Paris Saint-Germain striker. PSG will also be following his future closely, as the club is set to receive 20% of any profit made on his transfer.
