Hilal have submitted an initial €4m to Trabzonspor for Ekuban, whom they have been monitoring for the past four months.

However, the offer is expected to be rejected as the Turkish club values their key man at €7m. Trabzonspor have already made it clear that the Black Stars striker will not leave for less than the amount they have placed on him.

Hilal are not the only club to have shown interest in Ekuban. Spanish club, Celta Vigo also want to sign Ekuban. They believe the striker can reinforce their attack as they look to rebuild after escaping relegation on the final day of the season.

Ekuban, despite suffering a long term injury managed 34 games in all competitions this term. He was involved in an impressive 21 goals (scored 10 and assisted 11), helping Trabzonspor to lift the Turkish Cup.
