Liverpool are aiming to continue their summer of significant spending by signing a new centre-forward and they have seemingly identified their priority target.
After an approach for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak was swiftly rebuffed, Liverpool have turned their attention to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitiké. The former Paris Saint-Germain striker has blossomed in Germany and produced an exceptional 2024–25 campaign that helped propel Frankfurt to third in the Bundesliga table and Champions League qualification.
The highly-rated 23-year-old will cost Liverpool a sizeable amount, with Frankfurt having set an asking price of £86 million ($116 million) earlier in the transfer window. The Reds seem undeterred, however, and it looks increasingly likely they will sign the Frenchman in the coming weeks.
Here’s how Liverpool could line up with Ekitiké.
