Negotiations have begun with Eintracht Frankfurt over a move for forward Hugo Ekitike. The Reds have submitted a written offer in the region of £70million, and are already said to have agreed personal terms with the 23-year-old. That’s despite still being linked with a £120m swoop for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.

Liverpool have a solution in their sights for their striker problem. It's Hugo Ekitike. Talks are underway to bring the Frenchman to Merseyside and the club might not stop there. Now that Newcastle have withdrawn their interest, the Reds have a clean run at signing him.
