Ekitike Puts an End to False Rumors About the Cameroon National Team

Hugo Ekitike is speaking up. Fake reports that the Eintracht Frankfurt striker only considered playing for Cameroon as a backup option have been widely circulated.

It all started with a fake comment that was ascribed to him, went viral on social media, and was even picked up by Channel+ Afrique and other prominent publications. He would “have no choice” but to represent his father’s nation, Cameroon, if France didn’t call him up, according to the reported statement.

This week, Ekitike firmly denied the story, emphasizing that he never said anything like that. “I haven’t discussed selecting choices before. He declared, “I formally deny what has been relayed recently on this subject.”

The 22-year-old previously called a call-up to Les Bleus the “Holy Grail” in an interview with L’Équipe, expressing his affection for France. The untrue allegations serve as a concerning reminder of the perils of spreading misleading information on social media, according to Ekitike.
