Newcastle have been in talks with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign Ekitike for a few days now, and they are really keen to land him. Liverpool, who made an approach for Alexander Isak, have also contacted the German club to be informed of the Ekitike situation.

Liverpool are pushing ahead in the transfer market with real intent this summer. Following a brilliant Premier League-winning season under Arne Slot, the club has already brought in Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez. Now, all attention turns to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, a player who could transform Liverpool’s attack.
