🚨💣 Arsenal Target Hugo Ekitike as Isak Price Tag Forces Gunners to Pivot!
Arsenal are turning their focus to Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt as Mikel Arteta ramps up his search for a clinical striker. The 22-year-old Frenchman has been on fire this season—19 goals and 8 assists in all competitions—making him one of Europe’s hottest properties.
The Gunners had initially pursued Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, but with a staggering £150M price tag, Arsenal are now considering the more attainable Ekitike, who could cost around £60–67M.
Arteta is reportedly a big fan of Ekitike’s movement, finishing, and versatility, seeing him as a perfect tactical fit. With Gabriel Jesus inconsistent and Nketiah not locking down the spot, the forward line is crying out for a reliable force.
But Arsenal aren’t alone. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool are all circling, and Frankfurt are bracing for a summer bidding war, likely demanding at least €80M.
Still, Arsenal are quietly confident, with talks expected to begin soon. If Edu and Arteta pull this off, it could be a major boost to their title ambitions next season.
Stay tuned—this could be Arsenal’s marquee move of
the summer.
