During the first part of last season,
Hugo Ekitike only played one match before being loaned to Eintracht Frankfurt. Since his arrival in the Bundesliga, the 22-year-old striker has come back to life.
So much so that he is considering being called up to the French team, like Kolo Muani at the time, when he played for the same German club. “Randal led the way. Obviously, it’s in the back of my mind. I say to myself why not. I know that I have to prove myself but that it is something that must be earned. It is allowed to have goals and big goals”declared the former Stade de Reims player during an interview given to Eurosport.
Ekitike rises from its ashes in the Bundesliga
In the German championship, it is perhaps easier to score goals than in Ligue 1. “For an attacker, there is more space, recognizes the player measuring 1m91.

This season, Hugo Ekitike has already scored eleven goals and provided six assists in 19 matches in all competitions. Last April, Frankfurt exercised its purchase option for an amount of 16.5 million euros.
