Liverpool are on the verge of signing striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for £79million and Reds boss Arne Slot played a key role in persuading the player to join

Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike has been spotted boarding the plane to Liverpool ahead of his move to the side which should be completed this week.

In terms of workload, the minutes stack up: “Isak tops out at probably 3,500 minutes in a season. And Hugo right now probably about 3,000 minutes in a season.” Hendrick believes that if Liverpool do sign Isak, it “won’t pull us off” Ekitike.

Liverpool are now unlikely to bring in Alexander Isak this summer after agreeing a deal to sign Hugo Ekitike, sources have told Football Insider. The Frankfurt striker is set to make the switch to Anfield after the Bundesliga side accepted a £69million bid, which could rise up to £78m with add-ons.

After wasting £64 million on Darwin Nunez, Liverpool are once again investing a massive amount of money in an unproven talent in Hugo Ekitike - will the gamble pay off this time?
