Liverpool’s summer of sharp recruitment continued this week with the arrival of 23-year-old Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. Speaking exclusively to Liverpool FC Official Website, the French U21 international expressed a genuine sense of awe and excitement at stepping into Anfield’s world-class environment.

A fter extensive links to Newcastle United, Hugo Ekitiké signed for Liverpool this past week in a whirlwind turn of events—with manager Arne Slot's plans for the Frenchman reportedly a key factor in his decision to head to Anfield.

The Fenway Sports Group-owned club is set to splash the cash again in the 2025 summer transfer market, this time on a new striker.

Hugo Ekitike is expected to arrive in the UK on Monday ahead of a medical on Tuesday, as he finalises a six-year contract at Liverpool after Anfield chiefs reached an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt over a deal worth £79m (€91.

Hugo Ekitike is on the verge of joining Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt and it could affect Nicolas Jackson's short-term future at Chelsea.
