๐จ๐ฃ 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 seasonโ19 goals and 8 assists in all competitionsโmaking him one of Europeโs hottest properties.
The Gunners had initially pursued Newcastleโs Alexander Isak, but with a staggering ยฃ150M price tag, Arsenal are now considering the more attainable Ekitike, who could cost around ยฃ60โ67M.
Arteta is reportedly a big fan of Ekitikeโs 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 arenโt alone. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool are all circling, and Frankfurt are bracing for a summer bidding war, likely demanding at least โฌ80M.
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 tunedโthis could be Arsenalโs marquee move of
the summer.
