Both L-'Equipe and RMC Sport reported that the player was "desperate" to seal the switch as he missed training to travel to the French capital. However, the finalisation of the move was dependent on Frankfurt securing Kolo Muani's successor. And PSG were of the understanding their man Ekitike was going to the German side. But the 21-year-old French striker declined three offers from Frankfurt. According to Sports Zone , this is because he is keen to secure a move to West Ham - who could still land him before the close of the window on Friday night. And Ekitike's rejection of Frankfurt leaves the Bundesliga club without a replacement as the German transfer window prepares to close. This now threatens to kill any chance of Kolo Muani moving to PSG - with Parisian chiefs said to be furious at Ekitike.

And he has started the new season with the same level of ruthlessness in front of goal, netting three times in as many games. He has also racked up nine caps for France - scoring his first international goal in their World Cup semi-final win over Morocco nine months ago. Kolo Muani was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United earlier this summer, before Erik ten Hag's men signed Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta. TRANSFER NEWS LIV){kind=link}
