Liverpool’s Major Signing
Liverpool have now secured an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike. Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the Premier League champions have a deal in place with the German club. The 23-year-old French attacker is expected to complete his move to England swiftly.
Competition for Ekitike
Manchester United wanted to sign Ekitike as well, but Liverpool have decided to break the bank for the young talent, shelling out a package of around €95 million.
Ekitike’s Impressive Record
Ekitike was one of the best strikers in Germany last season, scoring 22 goals and providing 12 assists. He will sign a six-year contract with Liverpool, aiming to win major trophies with the Reds.
Future Prospects
Described as a ‘very special’ talent, Ekitike is expected to replace Darwin Nunez and elevate Liverpool’s attacking options, alongside recent signing Florian Wirtz.
