Hamburger SV, who were interested in Angers' Jacques Ekomié during the winter, are still monitoring the player ahead of the summer transfer window. The German club has competition, as Schalke 04 is also monitoring the 22-year-old. From England, newly-promoted Coventry and fellow Premier League team Nottingham Forest are both interested. Villarreal is an option from Spain, and it is said that this particularly attracts the player. It is also reported that discussions are progressing well with RC Strasbourg. Angers is aware that it will likely be difficult to retain the Gabonese wing-back, who is under contract until 2027, and hopes to get a transfer fee between €7 million and €10 million. Ekomié is a full international for Gabon with 21 caps. He joined Angers in July 2024 and has a current market value of €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
