Hugo Ekitike, a forward for PSG, is expected to decide on his future soon, and West Ham has been in contact with his representatives.
On Wednesday, September 20, the news source stated on its website that the Hammers are keeping an eye on the 21-year-old’s condition because he is currently lower on The Parisians’ priority list.
In addition to the Irons’ Premier League rivals Everton, Crystal Palace, Brentford, and Wolves, it was stated that the Frenchman is prepared to “look at other options available” if he isn’t more active at the Parc des Princes by December.
Possibly worthwhile
West Ham has been frequently associated with the forward, so it wouldn’t be out of the question to see them make a move for him in January.
He is obviously dissatisfied with the amount of playing time he is getting at PSG, and it appears probable that he will soon leave the club in search of more first-team football somewhere.
The Hammers could be back in for another forward once January comes around, with players heading off to the African Cup of Nations to further weaken the club’s attacking options.
The report details that a move to England is the “most likely outcome” for Ekitike, but it added that a loan move to Ligue 1 sides Lyon, Lens and Reims could also be an option.
This could definitely be one potential transfer to keep an eye on because he does potentially fit the bill of the kind of player we are looking to bring in due to his age and physical stature.
