Eddie Hau&#8217;s men are clear about the future of Swedish international. They don&#8217;t want to sell.<\/p>\n<p>However, it appears that there is at least a bit of optimism on the side of the club&#8217;s recruitment team that will at least be able to sign a contract.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the Premier League champions cover all bases and appear to be ready to push forward fellow targets Hugo Ekitike if they can&#8217;t seal the ISAK deal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hugo_Ekitike_appears_to_be_a_guaranteed_Premier_League_signature\"><\/span>Hugo Ekitike appears to be a guaranteed Premier League signature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Either way, the French are planning to switch to the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>To put things in context, Ekitique forms part of the increasingly shrinking signature of the top striker. Viktor Gyoker appears to be joining Arsenal. Benjamin Sesko will remain in RB Leipzig (unless the suitor is ready to grow).<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\"><strong>game<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\"><strong>the goal<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\"><strong>assist<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">48<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">twenty two<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>* HugoEkitike statistics for the 2024\/25 campaign via TransferMarkt<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are two obvious scenarios to play. Eintracht Frankfurt Hitman has expressed his reservation about competing with Alexander Isak for a few minutes and will pick more game time at Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, Liverpool&#8217;s approach to Isaac proves that Newcastle&#8217;s hierarchy is difficult to cross aside. With the bank having \u00a3120 million, Magpies can afford to cover the costs of Ekitike&#8217;s \u00a386 million release clause, pocketing \u00a334 million profits to further strengthen their team.<\/p>\n<p>Arne Slot will win a proven world-class striker for the Premier League, and Newcastle will get one of the next best available on the market.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the Reds know that Hugo Ekitique is likely to take part in the top English flight this summer.
