Liverpool are on the verge of completing the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike.

An agreement between the two clubs has been reached and the 23-year-old is expected to finalise the deal before flying out to join his new team-mates in Hong Kong.

The Athletic report that Liverpool will pay an initial £69m fee, with potentially a further £10m to be paid in add-ons.

Ekitike, who has made five appearances for the France U21 side but has not been capped at senior level, is expected to sign a six-year contract.

The striker had been targeted by Newcastle but the Magpies opted not to pursue the transfer after an initial £65m bid was rejected.

Ekitike scored 22 goals in 48 appearances for Frankfurt last season, in what was the best goal-scoring campaign of his career to date.

His arrival continues a big summer of spending for Premier League champions Liverpool.
