Liverpool are close to thrashing out an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt for striker Hugo Ekitike.

The Reds are putting the finishing touches to a second bid they hope will be sufficient to make Ekitike their latest acquisition of a busy summer as Arne Slot looks to update the squad that romped to the Premier League title last season.

Frankfurt rejected an offer of €80million (£69.4m) from Newcastle United last week and want nearer to €100m (£86.7m) for a player who started his career at Reims and then spent 18 months at Paris Saint-Germain before moving to Germany at the start of 2024.
