• Bournemouth sign France left-back Adrien Truffert

• Leeds fear Newcastle or Milan may hijack Bijol transfer

Manchester United are monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt’s striker, Hugo Ekitike, as a potential recruit.

The French forward is of interest to Ruben Amorim after United’s hopes of signing one of his prime targets, Viktor Gyökeres, receded due to the Swede expressing a preference to move to Arsenal. The 22-year-old Ekitike has scored 19 goals in 47 Bundesliga appearances for Frankfurt, having initially been loaned to the German club in February 2024. The Frenchman subsequently signed a five-year deal for around £14m last April. The France Under-21 international has a total of 50 strikes in 151 career games.
