The £100 million striker Chelsea wants to sign for their return to the Champions League

With qualification for the next Champions League secured, Chelsea is already working on reinforcing its squad with the aim of competing again among Europe's elite. One of the names gaining strength at Stamford Bridge is that of Hugo Ekitiké, a 22-year-old French forward who has shone this season at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, the London team is looking to add firepower upfront. Despite the efforts of Nicolas Jackson, his performance has not been convincing enough, prompting the Blues' board to seek a forward who can make a difference. In this regard, according to reports from The Athletic, Ekitiké is emerging as one of the top priorities after an outstanding campaign in the Bundesliga, where he scored 22 goals in 45 appearances.

His price tag will reach €100 million

The French attacker has not only increased his market value but has also attracted interest from several top clubs. Eintracht would be willing to negotiate for a figure close to €100 million, although Chelsea might propose a staggered payment plan, as they have done in other deals.

Other options like Liam Delap or Benjamin Sesko are also being considered, but the former PSG player stands out for his power, mobility, and goal-scoring instinct. His arrival would represent a bold move by Chelsea, aiming to be a contender in Europe once again with the addition of a talent with both present and future potential.
