This is according to Le 10 Sport.
So, what has been said about Forest and their interest in Ekitike? Let’s take a closer look…
Nottingham Forest want PSG striker Hugo Ekitike
The striker is down the pecking order with the Parisian giants and he could be on the move before the forthcoming
deadline.
According to Le 10 Sport, Forest sit in a three-way battle to try and bring Ekitike to the City Ground this month.
Wolves offer some further interest from the Premier League, with Eintracht Frankfurt the other club to show a desire to sign him.
It’s thought that Forest are in discussions with PSG over Ekitike, however, with the Reds keen on a loan-to-buy deal.
Forest are going to have to cut their cloth accordingly this month and big spending is unlikely to take place.
Yesterday, it came to light that Orel Mangala would like to stay at Forest and that’s a bit of a blow when it comes to the club raking in some income.
Who is Hugo Ekitike?
The striker signed for PSG on a permanent deal in the summer, having spent time on loan with the Parisian giants from Stade Reims.
The Forest-linked Ekitike was a product of the club’s youth system with the Ligue 1 outfit and after graduating to senior football, he scored 11 goals in 28 games.
