Sometimes, the football gods give fans a cheeky little wink. And this week, they might’ve been winking in royal blue. So, Blues fans should leave all their work and pay attention to this.
Ekitike—yes, that Ekitike—only went and rifled one into the net against Tottenham in Europa League action, right after Chelsea had dusted off Legia Warsaw 3-0 away in Poland. It was a beautiful goal, if you like that sort of thing (and Chelsea fans absolutely do). A neat finish, a cool celebration, and the added bonus? It came against Spurs. Now that’s how you introduce yourself to Stamford Bridge faithful.
Ekitike already knows how to win over Chelsea fans
Imagine being on Chelsea’s striker shortlist, then casually reminding fans why you should be top of it—by scoring against their arch-rivals. That’s not just smart. That’s cheeky genius. Ekitike might not be a global headline-maker (yet), but with that single strike, he just wrote himself into a few transfer wishlists in West London.
Ekitike’s finish was smoother than a Stamford Bridge flat white
You’d think it was a Champions League final the way the Chelsea Twitterverse reacted. The goal wasn’t just good—it was clinical. Ice-cold. He looked more like a man auditioning for the Premier League than the Europa League. While fans dream of shiny big-name arrivals, Ekitike might just be the bargain gem hiding in plain sight.
Will Hugo be Maresca’s surprise summer romance?
Post-match, Chelsea’s boss, Enzo Maresca, revealed he’d “fallen in love” with a player during their recent win. Maybe by August, he’ll be penning poetry for Ekitike too. With the Blues shifting from galácticos to golden potential, this lad ticks all the right boxes: young, hungry, and already annoying Spurs.
If this was an audition, Ekitike nailed it. Spurs were just the unlucky extras.
