The Reds are set to send a final scouting mission on a striker

Hugo Ekitike has gradually emerged as the favoured target for Liverpool this summer as we draw closer to the transfer window.

Alexander Isak has always been the number one target, but despite the striker being keen on the move, Newcastle United will block any effort to sign him.

Ekitike is now being closely looked at, and according to GiveMeSport, Liverpool will send one final scouting mission on the French forward this weekend.

The Reds want to take one final look at Ekitike before making a decision on whether to push forward with their attempt to sign the striker this summer.

FSG are prepared to fund a marquee signing, and the French forward is seen as the man who could be that big arrival in the upcoming window.

Eintracht Frankfurt want a fee in the region of £84m before agreeing to sanction his sale in the summer.
