Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike for an initial £69 million, potentially rising to £79 million with add-ons.
The 23-year-old French forward, who scored 15 goals and provided eight assists in the Bundesliga last season, is set to undergo a medical on Tuesday before signing a six-year contract.
Ekitike will join Liverpool’s pre-season tour in Asia later this week. His signing brings Liverpool’s summer spending to over £250 million, following major acquisitions including Florian Wirtz and defenders Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong.
