Hugo Ekitike has already shown he can give Manchester United what they need amid £85m transfer talk

Finding a frontman this summer is very much in fashion - Hugo Ekitike is very much the perfect fit.

A striker on the pitch, a stylist off it. The 22-year-old has a keen interest in fasion, even if his appetite for goals has taken over in recent times.

The Frenchman has been linked with Manchester United in recent days as the Reds step up their striker search, while Chelsea and Liverpool have also been credited with an interest. Arsenal are similarly seeking a striker with goal-getters at the top of plenty of shopping lists.

Ekitike shops for goals and clothes. “I’m interested in fashion and I follow trends, but I used to be much more into it," he said, speaking to Frankfurt's website earlier this season. "I only think about football now – I don’t have time for anything else.

"I don’t really have a particular style – it changes every time. Sometimes I go for streetwear, sometimes I go classy, and sometimes I dress more extravagantly."

Ekitike broke through at hometown club Reims in France and his form quickly attracted PSG, who secured his services for €35million after an initial loan. Aged just 20, Ekitike found himself competing for a strating spot in a star studded frontline that included Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

Perhaps unsurprisingly minutes were tough to come by and he made only 12 league starts for the Parisians. A loan to Frankfurt followed, a move which became permanent and where Ekitike has flourished.

That rise is down to talent and hard work but also the lessons learned from being on the fringes in Paris.

"It's only now, after spending a lot of time at home reflecting on what happened, that I've realised that I've been lucky enough to be in a place where no one else has been," he told TNT
