Liverpool continue to be in negotiations over the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike. Sources at the Premier League champions say reports in Germany of a deal being agreed for a £69m fee are premature, although it is believed that the France Under-21s forward does favour a move to Anfield.
Ekitike is expected to eventually join Liverpool as they look to overhaul their striking department, a situation further necessitated by the death of Diogo Jota this month.
