Liverpool looks to be on the verge of securing the signing of Hugo Ekitike, and the Reds will be getting a highly ambitious player who has already set his sights on emulating Kylian Mbappe.

After a rollercoaster few days, Liverpool now looks to have landed upon a new striker.

It now looks to just be a matter of time before the signing of Ekitike is secured, with the Reds looking to strike a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Newcastle has, in essence, already done the groundwork following its failed $94 million (£70M) bid.

Ekitike is reported to have a $116M release clause, although Liverpool may look to negotiate a lower price.

Should the deal go through as expected, Liverpool will get one of the most sought after young players in Europe at the moment, with Ekitike’s 22 goals for Frankfurt last season catching the eye of plenty of big clubs.
