Wesley Sneijder once said that Arsenal’s new striker target is a mix of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe
Arsenal have been linked with a move to sign a number of strikers this summer.
The Gunners have been in need of a prolific centre-forward for a long time now. Their last proper goalscorer was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – he left the club over three years ago.
The Arsenal board failed to bring in a new striker despite Gabriel Jesus’ season-ending injury in January, and that has all but cost them the Premier League title.
The same mistake cannot be repeated in the summer, and the Gunners are now targeting anot♏her number nine other than Alexande🌳r Isak and Benjamin Sesko.
Wesley Sneijder’s comments about Hugo Ekitike should excite Arsenal fans
Hugo Ekitike is the new name on Arsenal’s radar.
Gunners fans have been boꦬmbarded with links to Isak and Sesko for over a year now, but those two aren’t the only names on their list.
TBR Football exclusively revealed on Thursday that Arsenal have asked to be kept informed of💞 Hugo Ekitꦕike’s situation ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old Frenchman is having a tremendous campaign in Germany at Eintracಞht Frankfurt, and he is attracting a lot of interest.
TBR can confirm that along with Arsenal, fellow Premier League sides Liverpool, Newcastle Un🍒ited and Aston Villa are all keeping an eye on him as well.
Ekitike may not be as exciting a name for some Arsenal fans as Isak or Sesko, but what Dutch legend Wesley Sneijder once said about him will surely excite G🔯unners supporters.
Earlier this month, after seeing Ekit💙ike score against Ajax, Sneijder said on during their coverage of the game: “I’ll tell you, I’ve seen a lot of this boy.
“Now, I may say something really crazy, but I’ll say it anyway: I think he is a mix between Nꦑeymar and Mbappe. I sincerely mean that. ”
“He ha🌜s that grace from Neymar🧔 but also the movements of Mbappe. Suddenly accelerating – that’s something Mbappé also has. And he is only 22 years old. There is really a lot of potential in this boy.”
Hugo Ekitike’s stats compared to Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko
It is clear that the top two names on Arsenal’s wish list 😼are Isak and Sesk🅷o.
The Newcastle United star is the dream target for many Arsenal fans, while Sesko would be we꧋lcomed with open arms at the Emira🧸tes as well.
But, how does Ekitike fare against them? Let’s hav🌠e a look:
| Games | Goals | Assists | Minutes per goal or assist | |
| Hugo Ekitike | 38 | 19 | 8 | 102.48 |
| Alexander Isak | 33 | 23 | 5 | 93.32 |
| Benjamin Sesko | 36 | 17 | 6 | 115.43 |
As the table shows above, Isak is the best of the lot, and that explains why Arsenal have him on top of their summer transfer𓆏 wish list.
However, what’s interesting is that Ekitike has produced better numbers than Sesko. That gives Mikel Arteta some food for thought ahead of th🌳e summer transfer window.
For those wondering, Ekitike will cost around £60 million this summer, which is similar to what RB Leipzig want for Sesko. Isak, on the other hand, will cost mo🐽re than twice that figure.
