Frankfurt defender: If Ekitic stays, he will give everything for Frankfurt

A few days ago, Frankfurt defender Timothy Chandler talked about Ekitic's transfer rumors.

Previously, it was reported that Liverpool and Newcastle were interested in Ekitic, and Frankfurt priced it at 86 million pounds.

Chandler said: "I don't really think so, I have to say that, he's very open about it. We talked about it on the first day of (pre-season training). "

"If he stays here, he'll give everything for Frankfurt. I totally believe him."

"He works very hard. You really have to say that. And he says, if anything happens, it happens; if not, it's not."

"As long as he's here, he'll give it all, and he's a very, very good guy. I know that even if he ends up here, he'll give it all."

Ekitic played 48 times in all competitions last season, scoring 22 goals, helping Frankfurt qualify for the Champions League.
