The Reds are pushing to sign a French sensation
Hugo Ekitike has been on Liverpool’s radar for months, but the club have also been looking at several other strikers ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Alexander Isak has always been their top target, but Newcastle United qualifying for the Champions League has ended any faint hopes of signing the Swede.
According to RMC via GFFN, Liverpool have firmly turned their attention towards signing Eintracht Frankfurt’s Ekitike.
The forward has played a key role in them qualifying for the Champions League, but the German club are open to selling him in the summer window.

Eintracht want a fee of £84m, but Liverpool are confident of negotiating the price down through talks in the coming weeks.
