It doesn’t really surprise me that Arsenal are not being mentioned as serious contenders for Hugo Ekitike, even if Mark Brus made a great case for the signing here.He’s clearly a top talent and has had a superb season in Germany with Frankfurt, scoring 22 goals in total. From what I’ve seen of him, he also looks tailor-made to be a success in the Premier League.But when I look at the sort of striker that Mikel Arteta wants to operate with in his system, I’m just not sure Ekitike fits the bill.Benjamin Sesko a better fit for Arsenal than Hugo EkitikeYou can see why Arsenal are so keen on Benjamin Sesko.

There’s no sense of them taking their eye off the ball due to their title celebrations. If anything, it looks like they are determined to send out a statement to everyone else that they are out to build on their success.That is a worry, given how clear they finished above the rest of the league last season and given the quality of players they are now looking to bring in.More Stories / Latest News22-goal demon looks ideal for the Prem – but here’s why Arsenal are right not to be signing himJun 5 2025, 7:11Journalist “starting to hear whispers” that Tottenham could sign 19 G/A Man Utd & Arsenal targetJun 5 2025, 7:02Arne Slot personally meets playmaker he wants at Liverpool after Florian WirtzJun 5 2025, 6:55But I do think at this early stage of the window you have to try and ignore what is happening elsewhere and just wait to see what your own club does.
