Liverpool are reportedly set to begin talks with Eintracht Frankfurt to bring French forward Hugo Ekitike to Anfield this summer.

The Merseyside club have already revealed their major signings this summer.

With Jeremie Frimpong, they quickly filled the shoes of Trent Alexander-Arnold in late May this year.

Florian Wirtz’s signing has been the hottest headline of the summer as the club paid nearly £116m to sign him last month.

Liverpool signed Kerkez for approximately £40 million after activating his release clause.

Now the club is looking for a striker, as Darwin Nunez is reportedly on the verge of leaving.

Napoli are currently favourites to sign him, as per multiple reports.

According to Dean Jones, Liverpool are willing to open talks for Hugo Ekitike.

Earlier reports say Newcastle are planning to keep the Swedish striker for the upcoming season.

Liverpool might have identified that Isak will be difficult to get, and the club might have to spend over £100m for the 25-year-old.

The Reds have shortlisted Ekitike since June and now seem to believe this is the ideal time to begin talks.

Although there is still time left, it looks clear that Arne Slot will sign another forward.
