Why Liverpool Could Be Getting Exactly What They Want After Alexander Isak Transfer Twist - Liverpool Echo

MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, JUL 17 – Liverpool leads transfer race for Hugo Ekitike after Newcastle withdraws, with the French striker agreeing personal terms amid the club's record-breaking summer spending exceeding $300 million.

  • Liverpool are moving quickly in July 2025 to sign 23-year-old striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt as their new centre-forward.
  • Liverpool shifted focus to Ekitike after Newcastle United refused to sell their record signing Alexander Isak and issued a hands-off warning.
  • Ekitike scored 22 goals last term and is regarded as a promising striker who can also assist teammates, with Frankfurt asking around £100 million for him.
  • BILD Sport correspondent Johannes Wolf stated Ekitike is ready for the Premier League but needs time to adjust and has a profile almost identical to Isak's.
  • Liverpool's pursuit of Ekitike suggests they aim to strengthen their attack further after £200 million summer spending, potentially securing one of Europe's top young forwards.
