Transfer Talk: Premier League trio chase PSG starlet Ekitike

Hugo Ekitike is set to be the subject of a Premier League bidding war in January.

The French hotshot, 21, has struggled for game time since making his Paris Saint-Germain loan permanent over the summer.

And according to reports in France, Everton, West Ham and Wolves are keen to fight for his signature when the winter window opens, alongside Serie A powerhouses AC Milan.

Ekitike is said to have angered PSG chiefs by refusing to join Eintracht Frankfurt as part of the deal that brought Randal Kolo Muani to the French capital.

He will reportedly be shown the door in January and that could help the Premier League rivals take a shot on the young talent for a cut-price fee.

The France Under-20s star scored 11 times in 28 matches for Reims after coming through their academy to catch the eye of PSG.

But with just four strikes in 33 outings for his current employers, Ekitike's career has stalled.

PSG boss Luis Enrique is already feeling the heat with three wins in six games so far this season, which could lead to further upheaval at the Parc des Princes.
