The battle to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike is set to intensify with Manchester United now linked. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.

Last summer saw a total Premier League spend of more than £1.96 billion. Whether that figure will be eclipsed remains to be seen, but a thumping £400 million was already splashed during the early window between 1 and 10 June.

Who could be the major ins and outs, how much does Ruben Amorim have to spend and what's the club's PSR position?

Manchester United could have an unexpected boost in the race to sign Hugo Ekitike after the Eintracht Frankfurt forward revealed he supported the Reds as a child. The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with United, Chelsea and Liverpool all credited with an interest in the Frenchman.

The 22-year-old striker is expected to leave Eintracht Frankfurt soon, with PSG set to receive 20 percent of any transfer fee due to a sell-on clause. According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea remain interested in Ekitiké.

Transfer chiefs at Old Trafford have bemoaned the "Man United tax" over the years, but it's on the club to stop paying over the odds for players.
