Liverpool secured French forward Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt after finalizing personal terms for a six-year deal. The 23-year-old striker chose the Premier League champions over competing offers from Manchester United and Newcastle United. French journalist Fabrice Hawkins confirmed the agreement between the player and the club through social media channels. Manchester United's proposal was rejected, while Newcastle withdrew from negotiations entirely. Liverpool emerged as the sole destination for the talented forward.
Ekitike remains under contract with Frankfurt through 2029 following his permanent move from Paris Saint-Germain last summer. The striker initially joined the German club on loan before completing a full transfer. His impressive campaign featured 48 appearances across all competitions with 22 goals and 12 assists. Frankfurt benefited from his consistent scoring throughout the season. Liverpool targets a forward to strengthen their attacking options for upcoming campaigns.
