Concerning Ekitike stats
Multiple media outlets and sources have been linking Chelsea with Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike this week, it’s one story that really has gone pretty nuts.
But there is one very concerning stat that he had from last season, and it doesn’t look like he was too clinical in front of goal, which should be a problem for Chelsea.
Who Scored are reporting that Hugo Ekitiké scored 15 league goals this season from an xG of 22.55, the biggest xG under-performance in the Bundesliga.
