Hugo Ekitike is going to be a superstar. Hugo Ekitike is going to be a bust.
Depending on how hard I squint, I can pretty easily convince myself that either of those things is true. The 23-year-old Frenchman is a transfer-scouting Rorschach test: How you view him says everything about how you view the sport.
More than any player I can remember, Ekitike somehow both reaffirms and rejects conventional wisdom and scouting biases. He's a physical marvel with glaring physical weaknesses. He's an analytics darling with massive analytical red flags. He's a production machine without a track record of goals and assists.
