Hugo Ekitike draws Premier League interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea

Hugo Ekitike, the 22-year-old striker for Eintracht Frankfurt, is attracting significant interest from Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea, following an impressive season where he scored 17 goals and provided six assists. Despite having a contract with Frankfurt until 2029, the club may consider selling him if the right offer, reportedly around €80 million, comes in this summer. Arsenal is particularly keen to strengthen their attack and sees Ekitike as a long-term investment, while Chelsea also seeks additional firepower to support their current squad. Liverpool, on the other hand, aims to upgrade their striking options, potentially viewing Ekitike as a more prolific alternative to Darwin Nunez. Ekitike's resurgence after a challenging stint at Paris Saint-Germain has made him a hot commodity in the transfer market. Frankfurt management, however, is reluctant to part with their star player before 2026 but may be swayed by a substantial bid.
