Several top Premier League clubs — including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Newcastle United — are reportedly very interested in signing Hugo Ekitike, a young forward who is currently performing at the highest level of his career. His recent form has caught the attention of many clubs looking to strengthen their attacking lineups.
Eintracht Frankfurt, Ekitike’s current club, hopes to profit massively from his potential transfer. They aim to break their own transfer record, which was set in 2023 when Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) bought Randal Kolo Muani for €95 million. If Ekitike is sold for more than that, it would mark a historic deal for Frankfurt.

With the summer transfer window getting closer, many clubs are planning new signings, especially in attack. Ekitike is expected to be one of the most talked-about names in the market. This follows Frankfurt’s recent decision to sell Omar Marmoush to Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola. If they sell Ekitike too, it would mean the club is letting go of yet another key player in their frontline.

One of the clubs most strongly linked with Ekitike is Liverpool. Reports suggest that the club sees him as a possible replacement for Darwin Núñez, whose future at Anfield has been uncertain. Given the financial strength of Premier League teams, Frankfurt has set a high asking price, expecting competitive bids from England.
While all four clubs mentioned need a quality striker, Arsenal appears ready to spend significantly to bring in a top forward, making them strong contenders in the race to sign Ekitike.
At the same time, Liverpool is also said to be targeting two defenders from another Premier League team, showing that the club is working on multiple fronts to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
