Arsenal continues to scan the market in search of a new offensive reference, and one name that is regaining strength is Hugo Ekitike. The young French forward, 23 years old, currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt and has reappeared on the radar of the London team, as reported by the German press.

Mikel Arteta, the 'gunner' team's coach, sees Ekitike's incorporation with good eyes, a player he has been following for some time. His ability to move across the attack, his speed, and his goal-scoring instinct make him a profile very appealing to the Spanish coach, who aims to enhance competition in the forward line for the upcoming season.

There are other options but the Frenchman would be the most accessible

As reported by SportBild, although Arsenal has also considered options like Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyökeres, or Alexander Isak, signing any of these forwards seems challenging due to their high cost or their clubs' reluctance to negotiate. In contrast, Ekitike emerges as a more realistic and accessible alternative, and discussions with Eintracht could be expedited from the Emirates if the situation becomes favorable.

After a discreet spell at PSG, the French striker has started to regain form in Germany, catching the eye of one of the top clubs in the Premier League. Arsenal's interest is solid, and the possibility of seeing Ekitike in London is back on the table.
