Everton transfer news as PSG striker Hugo Ekitike preference emerges amid Frankfurt links

PSG striker Hugo Ekitike has not agreed on terms with Everton with a move to Goodison Park looking unlikely, according to Le Parisien.

The French media outlet reported on Saturday (19 August) that the Toffees are yet to even agree a fee with the Ligue 1 champions with him open to joining Frankfurt.

Sports Zone reported on their Twitter account that Everton had even tabled a bid for the 21-year-old French striker.

Move on

The Toffees need another striker this summer and by the looks of it, Che Adams is the man they're set to get.

The 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa is a clear wake-up call that things are far from right at Goodison Park and changes need to be made.

Ekitike is at PSG, a club where he won the league and one that expects to challenge for the Champions League.

Should he move to Everton, it will be a side that's battling relegation and crippled with financial issues.

Thus, it makes little sense for him to even be open to this move and it will come as a surprise if the Toffees succeed in signing him.

Adams seems to be the most likely option and they're unlikely to rope in another striker if they bring him home.
