Arsenal joined by 3 English rivals in race for French striker
The star in question here is Hugo Ekitike of Frankfurt. He is 22 years old and is having a superb season in Germany. He has scored 20 goals and picked 8 assists this season and has attracted interest from top clubs across whole Europe.
According to BILD, Ekitike is looked upon by Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Manchester United. The report adds that Frankfurt are set to demand as high as €100 million for Ekitike.
Firstly, Gunners view striker signing as the missing piece of the puzzle. They are keen to win a Premier League title and hence can opt to splash money. But, as of now they are focused on Viktor Gyokeres.
On the other hand, Liverpool will part ways with Darwin Nunez. In addition, they will also sell Diogo Jota for right offer. This makes striker signing their top priority in the summer window.
Newcastle United are focused to keep Alexander Isak beyond this season. But, the Sweden international is heavily linked with exit. If he leaves, the Magpies will be forced to make urgent signing.
Lastly, Man United are set to part ways with both Zirkzee and Hojlund. Due to the tough current season, they are set to take some key decision. One of them is to bring in a clinical striker who can score on regular basis.
