Man United Chase Hugo Ekitike After Gyokeres Snubs Club for Arsenal Move

Is Manchester United's striker search falling apart? United were keen on Viktor Gyokeres, but the prolific Swedish striker now favors a move to Arsenal instead. With Gyokeres off the table, the Red Devils are pivoting to Hugo Ekitike—a 22-year-old French forward who netted 22 goals last season for Eintracht Frankfurt.

However, there's a major roadblock: Ekitike’s price tag sits at £80 million, a hefty fee for a club without European football this season. Chelsea and Liverpool are also tracking him closely, making the race tighter.

Interestingly, when asked about his favorite club growing up, Ekitike named Manchester United. Could this personal connection help tip the scales? Meanwhile, United are also pursuing Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo—but face competition from Tottenham.

Stay tuned as United’s summer rebuild faces big questions and even bigger price tags.
