Chelsea have reportedly held transfer talks in recent days as they continue to pursue a potential deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike.

The talented young Frenchman has shone in the Bundesliga and looks like he could earn himself a big move very soon.

Posting on X, formerly Twitter, this evening, Hawkins says Chelsea have not yet broken off contacts over Ekitike, but for now there’s not been much in the way of progress due to his €100m asking price…

?Contact has therefore not been broken off, even though the deal has not progressed.
