Liverpool has now secured an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekichke.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the Premier League champion has signed a contract with the German club. The 23-year-old French attacker is expected to quickly complete his move to England.
Manchester United also wanted to sign Ekitique.
Liverpool has decided to beat the bank for Ekitique
Liverpool will fire a package of around 95 million euros to sign players. Ekitike was one of Germany’s best strikers last season and he should prove to be a great acquisition of Liverpool.
They needed to bring in a reliable goalscorer, and the French attackers were able to find the back of the net 22 times last season. He also picked up 12 assists. Ekitike signs a six-year contract with Liverpool and tries to win a big trophy with the Reds during their club.
Hugo Ekitike is the outlook for elites
Ekitike has been described as a “very special” talent in the past. If they could properly groom him, he could prove he was a future star for Liverpool. They have done well over the years to develop young players.
Meanwhile, the French attacker hits the ground running in the Premier League and tries to establish himself as a key player for the club. He is expected to replace Darwin Nunes, who has links to multiple clubs. South America scored just seven goals. Last season, Liverpool had to replace him.
Liverpool has already improved their attacking units with the signature of Florian Wirtz. Currently, quality strikers simply increase the standard for their team. It will be interesting to see if you can sign a high quality wide player before the window closes. Lewis Diaz is linked to the exit and the Reds need to replace him.
