The forward made 24 appearances this past season in Ligue 1, scoring ten goals. As a result, he has shown that he can deliver on the domestic level. And with Christophe Galtier fronting the team, it will be exciting to see how he can develop. 

Hugo Ekitike becomes the second new signing for the French giants this summer, after the arrival of Vitinha. The two arrivals have shown the change in philosophy at the club, with [Luis Campos in charge](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1547939236724166656?s=20&t=Wk1P6-I7rqi97A8UfElqcg) of recruitment. 

Reims will receive a transfer fee worth €30 million upfront plus add-ons. He will be a part of the first team, and will not be loaned back to Reims for the season. After the forward, Campos is looking to sign Renato Sanches from Lille, although they will face competition from AC Milan for the midfielder.
