Chelsea are reportedly battling Arsenal and Liverpool for the signing of Ekitiké, according to RMC Sport. The 22-year-old scored 22 goals in all competitions this season, attracting strong Premier League interest.
Eintracht Frankfurt are said to want between €80 million and €100 million for Ekitiké. PSG, where Ekitiké struggled before moving to Germany, are set to receive 20 percent of any future transfer fee.
Recently, GIVE ME SPORT reported that Arne Slot and the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, reportedly decided to explore the possibility of making a big-name signing to pursue more attacking options.
Moreover, the outlet claims that Liverpool are expected to be among many clubs attending the match at Europa-Park Stadion, with a clear focus on assessing Ekitiké, who has been involved in 33 goals across all competitions this season. However, his £84 million price tag may present a challenge.
