10 minutes of play against Lorient on August 12, then the blackout. Nothing left, except for a few furtive appearances on social networks, during extra-sporting events or at the training center. It is therefore difficult to follow in the footsteps of Hugo Ekitike in recent times, a footballer placed on technical unemployment following his refusal to enter into the deal put in place with Eintracht Frankfurt for Randal Kolo Muani. The 21-year-old striker wanted to keep his hand, and had a preference for England, but PSG rejected a loan proposal from Crystal Palace in the final moments of the summer transfer window.
Today completely barred by competition that has become copious (Gonçalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, Marco Asensio), Hugo Ekitike knows that only the winter transfer window will be able to save him from a completely blank season. But after 4 months without playing, who can he convince? Well we have to believe he’s lucky since the clubs interested last summer are obviously still there.
West Ham is on the move
Indeed, according to the London Evening Standard, Crystal Palace is still on the case. The London club wants to get rid of Jean-Philippe Mateta, courted by Eintracht Frankfurt, and would see Ekitike succeed him in the squad, where we find Odsonne Edouard and Jordan Ayew. Another club, more upscale, ticked the name of Ekitike. This is West Ham.
The Hammers, currently ninth in the Premier League, are looking for an additional scorer, while Antonio lacks efficiency and Ings is a little alone to replace him. Ekitike is on the shortlist of London leaders, and PSG can therefore hope that transfer offers fall for their striker, on whom they absolutely no longer count.
