Why Arsenal is not in the race to sign Hugo Eikitic

It does not really surprise me that Arsenal is not mentioned as serious competitors Hugo Ekitike, even if Mark Bruce offers a great argument to sign here.

It is clear that he is a better talent and has a great season in Germany with Frankfurt, where he scored 22 goals in total. From what I saw from him, it also looks specially to be successful in the Premier League.

But when I look at this type of attacker who wants McCle Artita to work with him in his system, I am not sure that Ekitike fits the bill.

Benjamin Cisco is better Larsenal than Huga Ekitice

You can find out the reason for Arsenal on Benjamin Cisco. It seems that it will match the arteta system completely, but I am not sure that you can say the same thing with Ekitike.

This is not a criticism and to be honest, I think there is a strong argument that Arsenal should search for something a little different from what they already have.

Arsenal seemed to be a little predictable under Arteta, they definitely did last season anyway, and they may need another type of option to give the opposition something else to think about it.

But I am not sure that this is what they really are looking for.

It was a slow start, but an arsenal planned for an important window

Regarding the early work of Arsenal’s competitors in the Premier League this summer, I can understand why there is a sense of frustration between the fans base.

Liverpool shows a real intention in the early days of the window. There is no feeling that they take their attention from the ball because of their title celebrations. If there is anything, they seem to be determined to send a statement to anyone else that they are outside to build on their success.

This is a source of concern, given how clearly over the rest of the league last season, given the quality of the players who are now looking to bring them.
