“Hugo has shown in his previous matches the quality he possesses. We are firmly convinced of his great potential and we hope to see him in the Eintracht shirt after the current season,” said the team’s sporting director, Markus Krosche.
The 21-year-old striker arrived at Eintracht Frankfurt in February this year and has already played 12 games. Ekitiké scored his first goal for the club in the last match, in a 3-1 victory over Augsburg in the German Championship.
Before arriving at PSG, the young man stood out playing for Stade Reims. However, he had little space in the Parisian team and left for German football in search of more minutes on the field.
Eintracht Frankfurt faces Bayern Munich this Saturday, at 10:30 am (Brasília time), at the Allianz Arena, in the Bundesliga.
