Eintracht Frankfurt has left fans speechless by announcing the signing of talented striker Hugo Ekitike from Paris Saint-Germain. The young attacker, 21, will move to the Bundesliga on an exciting loan deal, marking a strategic move by the German side.
Despite speculation over Ekitike’s future during the January market, Eintracht Frankfurt emerged victorious in the race for his services. Fulham also showed interest, particularly when the deal for Armando Broja became complicated, but Marco Silva’s side are now favorites to land the Chelsea striker on loan.
A necessary exit
The Ekitike deal was sealed with an initial loan deal, but the highlight is the option of a permanent transfer this summer for €30 million, confirmed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The young striker, who started his professional career at Reims before moving to PSG in 2022, will bring his talent and energy to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Despite his limited time at PSG, Ekitike has made a significant impact in his career, scoring four goals and providing four assists in 33 appearances for the French club. With his departure confirmed, the striker now wants to revive his career in the Bundesliga, where he could make his debut for Eintracht Frankfurt next Saturday in their next game against FC Cologne. This signing promises to add more power and versatility to the German team’s attack as they pursue their goals in domestic competition.
