Honestly, it's kind of up in the air if Hugo Ekitike actually joins Chelsea or Liverpool this summer. Both clubs want him, for sure – Liverpool need a new striker now that Darwin Nunez is probably leaving, and Chelsea are always looking for more firepower even after signing Liam Delap. But the wild thing is Bundesliga bosses at Eintracht Frankfurt are playing it tough. They're saying no way they're dropping the €100 million price tag, which is massive for a player with just one super standout season.
But say he does make the jump – it could be risky for Ekitike. The Premier League is way more physical and fast, and some strikers just don’t fit in, especially if managers want more pressing or link-up play. I’ve seen lots of Bundesliga guys move and struggle at first. If Hugo isn’t careful or if Liverpool or Chelsea change managers or tactics, he might end up like at PSG, barely playing. But I gotta admit, if he gets going, he could be a huge hit. Guess it just depends who’s willing to drop the cash and give him a real shot.
