Premier League outfit, Liverpool FC, have reached an agreement for the transfer of German club, Eintracht Frankfurt, French striker Hugo Ekitike, subject to international clearance.
Ekitike, 23 years of age, has successfully completed a medical and agreed personal terms with Liverpool, which allows him to jet out to Hong Kong to join his new colleagues on their pre-season tour of Asia later this week.
Ekitike arrives at Anfield after a season-and-a-half in Germany, having initially moved to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan from Uefa Champions League 2024/25 Champions, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The Frenchman scored 26 goals in 64 appearances for Frankfurt and bagged a spot in the Bundesliga Team of the Season for 2024/25.
Ekitike emerges the newest signing to Dutch manager, Arne Slot’s, squad this summer, following the likes of Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Florian Wirtz.
Hugo Ekitike will wear 54 as a temporary squad number while on pre-season tour with the Reds.
Arne Slot’s men will play against AC Milan on Saturday and then travel to Japan, where they will face Yokohama F. Marinos before returning to Merseyside.
