Arsenal and Spurs Set Sights on Bundesliga Star
According to Bild, Eintracht Frankfurt wants €100 million (around AU$179 million) for their standout player, Hugo Ekitike. The 22-year-old forward has been impressive this season, racking up 14 goals in the Bundesliga and scoring against Tottenham in their Europa League quarter-final. Both Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in the French striker, who started his career at Reims and spent time at Paris Saint-Germain before moving to Frankfurt last year. It’s unclear if either of the Premier League teams will meet that price.
Manchester United Plans to Profit from Onana
Manchester United might think about selling goalkeeper Andre Onana, but only if they can make a profit. David Ornstein, via NBC Sports, says they are not looking to take a loss, even with Onana’s recent slip-ups, like his struggle in the 2-2 Europa League draw with Lyon. He didn’t play last weekend, raising questions about his future. United paid £47 million (about AU$97 million) for him, and they want to make sure they get a better deal if they decide to let him go.
