Arsenal – Ekitike Eyed as Alternative to Isak

Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Summer 2025

Arsenal are targeting Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike as a backup option to Newcastle’s Alexander Isak. The 22-year-old has bounced back from a tough spell at PSG with 19 goals and 8 assists this season.
With Newcastle demanding £150m for Isak, Arsenal are considering Ekitike’s more affordable £60m valuation. The Gunners view him as a strong fit and a realistic option if Isak proves too expensive.
