Liverpool are once again being linked with a move for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike.

The Reds have been credited with an interest in signing Ekitike for several months, as the rumours about potentially bringing a new centre-forward to Anfield continue.

Ekitike has also been linked with other Premier League clubs this summer, including Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, while Newcastle United have also been mentioned as a potential destination in the past.

Now, there continues to be fresh rumours linking Liverpool with a move for the France Under-21 international, who scored 22 goals in all competitions last term.

A fresh update has emerged from Germany, which offers Liverpool encouragement that they may be able to sign Ekitike this summer.

Liverpool are reported to have held talks with Ekitike's representatives in the past, but are yet to start negotiations with Frankfurt.

Arsenal are also mentioned in the report as showing a "serious" interest in signing the 23-year-old this summer.

For Liverpool, the report claims that the Reds will move to sign a new striker once Darwin Nunez joins Napoli in a permanent deal.

The Serie A giants have been heavily linked with signing the Reds striker, and if Nunez was to depart, it would free up room in the squad for a new centre-forward to move to Anfield.

Frankfurt are reported to have set an asking price of €100million (£85million) for Ekitike, which appears to not be putting Liverpool off at this moment in time.

It remains to be seen what Liverpool will do in the striker market this summer, with Newcastle United's Alexander Isak and Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres also mentioned as potential targets on the rumour mill in recent weeks.

Liverpool have already been busy in the transfer market this summer with a spend of more than £200million.

The Reds have added Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman to their squad, while also welcoming 2024 signing Giorgi Mamardashvili to Anfield.
