Ekitike made his first appearance for France on Friday in their 2-0 win over Ukraine. With the team now focused on Tuesday’s match against Iceland, the Reims native spoke openly about the difficult period he experienced at PSG between 2022 and 2024, where he found himself competing with Kylian Mbappé.
