Chelsea is contemplating the acquisition of Hugo Ekitike as an alternative option to Alexander Isak for the upcoming summer transfer window. Ekitike, who is currently with Eintracht Frankfurt, is considered a more budget-friendly choice compared to Isak. Despite this, Frankfurt reportedly wishes to keep Ekitike for at least another season, having set his valuation at £60 million. The club is known for selling strikers at high prices, with Ekitike potentially being the next to follow this trend. Chelsea is competing with Arsenal, who are also showing interest in Ekitike as they aim to sign a top-tier No.9. Although Frankfurt is hesitant to let Ekitike go, the summer transfer window might see negotiations heat up if clubs are prepared to meet the asking price.
