Hugo Ekitike, the talented French forward, has emerged as a highly sought-after player in the Premier League, catching the attention of both Liverpool and Newcastle United. Ekitike’s strong form in his first full campaign with Eintracht Frankfurt has led to plenty of interest. No wonder then that this success has significantly raised his market value. Bleach Report’s Premier League and Bundesliga sports analyst Sam Tighe recently shed light on this burgeoning appetite for Ekitike on the Transfer Talk Podcast.
Ekitike has had a breakout season in the Bundesliga, displaying his tremendous skillset on the world stage. This season’s performance is proof that he can have a huge impact at Champions League clubs. What stands out even more is Martins’ goal-scoring ability. Coupled with his technical quality, this makes him an attractive option for clubs looking to bolster their attacking ranks. Liverpool and Newcastle are said to be taking an interest in him as a major target for their next summer transfer plans.
In the newest episode of the Transfer Talk Podcast, Sam Tighe discusses what it all means. Find out now as he explains why both clubs would love to get Ekitike signed up. He confirmed that Liverpool are keen to strengthen in the forward department. They need to keep pace within their own domestic competition and of course in the European competition as well. With established stars such as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané paving the way, the team is undeniably deep. Bringing in young talent such as Ekitike will instantly add depth and a different dynamic of play to their attacking play.
Newcastle are determined to cement their Champions League place in the Premier League. Their desire stems from investments they’ve made of late to reach that goal. Tighe explained that Ekitike aligns with Newcastle’s strategy of recruiting young, promising players who can develop into key contributors over time. His past experience in a competitive league only makes him more attractive to the Magpies.
That kind of demand for Ekitike is an indictment of the fast-track gallop he’s had to stardom in European football. Clubs are increasingly willing to invest in young talents who demonstrate the potential to make an immediate impact while offering long-term benefits. Orchestrated by their owners’ wallets, Liverpool and Newcastle are far from done. Ekitike’s name is right there among the top of their discussions on potential incoming transfers.
