This could be Hugo Ekitike’s season of explosion. Having arrived last winter from PSG, the 22-year-old striker needed several weeks to get back on his feet in Frankfurt, having been sidelined for half a season in the French capital. He knew the tight turn that awaited him after 6 months without competition, but finally took the bull by the horns and finished the season with a bang with goals against Bayern Munich, Leverkusen and Leipzig.
This summer, Ekitike continued on the same hungry footing, this time with a double in his first match of the season, against Braunschweig, in the cup (4-1). A level of performance that will do his team good, as Mario Götze pointed out in an interview for beIN Sports : “Yes, I think Hugo Ekitike has an ability that few players have with his dribbling, his finishing, and his speed.commented the 2014 German world champion. Of course he can help us a lot. We saw it last year: we simply need everyone to be at 100%. This applies to everyone who has played, to the new ones, to those who have been here a little longer. And he is undoubtedly an added value for the team..”
