Now the attacker has said an emotional goodbye to Eintracht Frankfurt.
In an Instagram post, Ekitike thanked coach Dino Toppmöller , his teammates, and the fans. He also wished SGE a Champions League win —with one exception.
"It's crazy how quickly time passes, but leaves us with indelible traces and memories.
I haven't forgotten anything since my first day among you. The truth is, I learned love here—true love. First, the love of the most incredible fans of all time (thank you for your love, your warmth, and your support; thank you for always celebrating me as one of you; I never felt like a stranger among you), then the love of the entire club, from top to bottom. All of you have been a support or a listening ear to me at some point. I've grown with you, and I owe it to you that I continue to be what I've become among you, upholding your values...
We never truly leave those we love, even if we're far away from Deutsche Bank Park. I will fulfill my new role and be the first supporter of this club I love. To my coach Dino: Thank you for our conversations and for your insight. To my teammates, my brothers, my soldiers: My success is having you by my side this year.
I wish you all the best in the Champions League (unless you meet me 😂 )... Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. For those who love with their heart and soul, there are never goodbyes. I spent the best year of my life with you, you are immortalized in my memory.
Forever an eagle 🦅."

Well done Frankfurt, you instilled good values and priorities in the kid which we hope to benefit from. He values you highly and as a result, so do we. Thanks for raising a humble and gifted player. We owe you one. Good luck in your new season.
