Ekitike is a 6'3" speed merchant, those are about the only things in football Nwaneri will probably never be capable of. Whereas every bit of tekkers Ekitike's got Nwaneri more or less already has.
Anyway I reckon we weren't so interested because you can see Ekitike's game thrives on speed and transition, and our lack of a steady supply of open spaces already makes Martinelli look like the half the player he'd be if he were galloping round for Frankfurt in the paddocks you can see in those clips.
