After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.

For Hugo Ekitike, joining PSG was ultimately not the right choice for his career. Indeed, within the capital club, the French striker struggled and ended up quickly packing his bags. Here he is today at Eintracht Frankfurt, where he is making a strong impression in the Bundesliga. And on the other side of the Rhine, Ekitike wouldn't say no to being joined by one of his friends, now at Paris FC.

At 22 years old, Hugo Ekitike shows the full extent of his talent. Under the jersey ofEintracht Francfortthe Frenchman is a hit on the other side of the Rhine, totaling 9 goals and 4 assists, in all competitions, since the start of the season. It changes the complicated months he was able to spend when he was playing at PSG. Recruited in 2022 by the capital club from Stade de Reims, Ekitike was perhaps facing a step too high.

Ekitike hopes for Kebbal

Hugo Ekitike thus found a smile againEintracht Francfort and now he wouldn't say no to meeting up with some of his friends. One of them is currently at Paris FC: Ilan Kebbal. Indeed, in remarks made to Bild, Riding said: “ If I am the sporting director, Markus Krösche, who will I recruit in the next transfer window? Probably my friends from Reims: Ilan Kebbal and Nathanaël Mbuku. They are the best players I played with there. Ilan now plays for Paris FC and Nathanaël for Dinamo Zagreb. I would like to play with them again ».

De Bruyne and Benzema make him dream

Moreover, Hugo Ekitike would like to play with other players. Thus, following his interview for the German media, the striker ofEintracht Francfort also explained: “ As a striker, everyone wants to play with Kevin De Bruyne. He gives assists. I don't even have to move (laughs). And I would like to be on the pitch with Karim Benzema. I love watching it. He's a great footballer ».
