After a first half-season of adjustment, Hugo Ekitike will be highly anticipated on the Frankfurt side. The former PSG striker, bought for just over 16 million euros by the German club last winter, was indeed praised by his coach Dino Toppmöller this Tuesday, who promises him a bright future. But it will not be a sinecure for the Frenchman, who will have to face competition from the Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush, and now the young Croatian Igor Manatanovic, who arrived this summer from Kalsruher (German D2).
After the Eagles’ victory against the American club Louisville last night (4-0), Toppmöller did not hesitate to put pressure on the former Parisian, who was also a scorer: “Igor brought us a lot and he made an exceptional impression. (the new recruit scored twice). That’s how a coach wants his centre forward to play. Pressure on Ekitike? Yes. Eki has to be in such a fit state that he can play like Igor. I already said it yesterday, Igor is an absolutely serious competitor for any striker and today he has taken another very good step forward.”. Ekitike to make two.
