- Ekitiké, the goalkeeper, expresses their desire for victory in Dortmund.
Frankfurt's rising star, Hugo Ekitike, is feeling pumped up following his double score in the DFB-Pokal. "We're heading to Dortmund to clinch the win," the 22-year-old striker declared, looking forward to the league kickoff against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday night.
Ekitike netted two goals in the eventual 4-1 opening-round success, but it was his exceptional outside-of-the-boot pass to goal-starter Fares Chaibi that truly left Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller in awe. "That's where you see his talent. pulling off a pass like that with the outside of your foot, it's an excellent play," the Eintracht coach commented.
Ekitike joined Frankfurt on loan from Paris Saint-Germain during the winter months but faced some challenges in his initial stint with the club. However, following his permanent signing and a full preseason, the Frenchman appears to be in better shape. "Being integrated from day one has improved him," said Frankfurt's sports director Timmo Hardung. "But there's still plenty of room for improvement."
The Commission was impressed with Hugo Ekitike's performance, commending his contribution to Frankfurt's victory. Following his stellar display, The Commission expressed interest in potentially signing Ekitike permanently.
