Arsenal fans are calling for the club to finalise a move for Hugo Ekitike following fresh reports on the striker\u2019s future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners are in the market for a new forward this summer after their struggles in front of goal once again cost them silverware, finishing second for the third consecutive season.<\/p>\n

Kai Havertz\u2019s season-ending injury<\/a> in February left Mikel Arteta short of options, forcing midfielder Mikel Merino to fill in as a makeshift number nine during the run-in.<\/p>\n

Strengthening the striker position is seen as a major priority for the North London side, with Football<\/strong> Insider<\/strong> revealing Arsenal are pursuing Benjamin Sesko as their top target<\/a>, ahead of Sporting Lisbon\u2019s Viktor Gyokeres.<\/p>\n

However, despite weeks of talks, no agreement has been reached, leading to speculation over potential alternatives.<\/p>\n

Now, reports about another target has sparked fresh excitement among the Arsenal fanbase, with many urging the club to make a move as they look to finally resolve their attacking issues.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

According to German outlet Bild<\/a>, Eintracht Frankfurt star Ekitike<\/a> is now being \u201cseriously considered\u201d by Arsenal as part of their summer transfer plans.<\/p>\n

The report adds that if the Gunners fail to agree a deal for either Gyokeres or Sesko, Ekitike will become a \u201creal attraction\u201d in their pursuit of a new striker.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman enjoyed a standout season in the Bundesliga, scoring 15 league goals to help Frankfurt secure a third-place finish and Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n

His form has not gone unnoticed, with Football Insider<\/strong> revealing Manchester United are also monitoring Ekitike,<\/a> though they are unlikely to move unless his \u00a384million price tag drops.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have similarly been linked, but any deal may depend on Darwin Nunez\u2019s sale, potentially opening the door for Arsenal to make a move ahead of the Reds.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s hunt for a new striker has been one of the worst-kept secrets of the transfer window, but with talks stalling for Gyokeres and Sesko, the Gunners appear to be weighing up alternatives.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have previously shown interest in Ekitike<\/a>, but fresh reports suggest their admiration is growing as they prepare to ramp up efforts to bolster Arteta\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

Supporters have made their feelings clear on the potential signing, with many convinced the French forward could be the missing piece to lead the club to major silverware.<\/p>\n

One fan reacted to the news saying: \u201cHe is the perfect fit for the way we play. Would be brilliant if this happens\u201d with another supporter adding: \u201cOnce we get him, we\u2019ll win the Champions League.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bring him in \u2026 will thrive well on the left wing. Almost reminds me of TT14<\/p>\n

Ekitike is better than Sesko. If we can’t get Gy\u00f6keres, I would prefer Ekitike.<\/p>\n
