Chelsea hold strong interest in Hugo Ekitiké, Liverpool and Arsenal in the race | OneFootball

Chelsea hold a strong interest in Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitiké (22), according to a report from RMC Sport.

In his first – and perhaps only – full season in the Bundesliga, Ekitiké has bounced back from what was a difficult spell at Paris Saint-Germain. The Frenchman has netted 22 goals in all competitions, including four in the UEFA Europa League. Eintracht Frankfurt are open to a sale this summer, but not at any price.

RMC Sport understands that the Bundesliga side will demand between €80-100m for the Stade de Reims academy product. Premier League sides have already established contact with the player and with Eintracht Frankfurt. Chelsea’s interest is strong, as per RMC Sport, with the Frenchman featuring high on their shortlist.

However, the Blues aren’t the only ones in the race. Liverpool and Arsenal are also interested in the centre-forward. PSG will also pocket some money in any deal, 20% of the profits made on the player from the German club.
