Arsenal and Chelsea are considering a move for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike replacement for Alexander Isak this summer.
Frenchman Hugo Ekitike is a cheaper option than Swedish winger Alexander Isak. Who is unlikely to leave Newcastle if the Magpies secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
Arsenal are looking to add a new เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย No.9 to their ranks. While Chelsea are also keen to add a new striker, and both clubs believe signing Hugo Ekitike could be a cheaper option than signing RB Leipzig forwards Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko.
However, it is believed that Eintracht Frankfurt keen to keep Hugo Ekitike at the club until at least next season.
Moreover, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz’s seasons are already over due to their respective injury problems. So, Mikel Arteta will have to end the season without a specialist centre forward.
The Spanish boss opted to deploy Leandro Trossard in the false nine position last weekend against Leicester City but he couldn’t showcase his best in an unfamiliar role. However, Mikel Merino scored a brace after being introduced in the second half as a striker.
So, the North Londoners will be hoping that the Spain international will able to continue his goal-scoring run as a striker until the end of this season.
Ekitike to Arsenal
That Arsenal want to sign a new prolific striker next summer and Newcastle United’s Isak is their primary target. But, the Magpies might able to keep hold of him should they manage to qualify for the Champions League next season.
