Liverpool is pursuing the transfer of French striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. The 23-year-old had an impressive Bundesliga season with 22 goals and 11 assists. Negotiations are ongoing without an agreement on his fee, despite Liverpool making a written offer. Ekitike prefers a move to Liverpool, and personal terms are nearly finalized. With Darwin Nunez's impending departure from Liverpool, Ekitike's signing would fill an essential role as an out-and-out number nine.
By Thursday evening, there had been no agreement between Eintracht Frankfurt and Liverpool regarding Hugo Ekitike. Negotiations are continuing today. So far, Liverpool have made one written offer.
Ekitike wants Liverpool. Personal terms are almost agreed, and now he is waiting for the clubs.
There's definitely room for a striker of his quality in this LFC team, with Darwin Nunez struggling in his three years at Anfield.
It now seems likely Nunez will leave Liverpool this summer, and he'd need replacing as Slot doesn't really have anyone else who operates as an out-and-out number nine.
