The saga involving Hugo Ekitike is a rollercoaster, as only a few hours remain in the summer transfer window. Ekitike doesn’t have a future at Paris Saint-Germain, so a move seems likely before the Sept. 1 deadline.

Over the last few weeks, the 21-year-old name has been in the rumor mill, linking him to various clubs. The latest whisper is that another Premier League side is jumping into the race for the striker.

L’Equipe’s Loïc Tanzi reports that Crystal Palace will make a loan offer with an option to buy for Ekitike. Furthermore, The prospect of playing in the Premier League appeals to the Frenchman. 

While the former Stade de Reims player understands he’ll have to play elsewhere for minutes as a starter, Ekitike still wants control of where his career will continue.

French journalist Marc Mechenoua reports that Ekitike is not satisfied with the two contractual offers Eintracht Frankfurt has made to him. The PSG player also wants to avoid being part of a swap deal for Randal Kolo Muani. As a result, he wants two separate operations. 

Will a move to Crystal Palace happen, or will another club come swooping in?
