Liverpool are on the verge of completing the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike. The Athletic report that Liverpool will pay an initial £69m fee, with potentially a further £10m to be paid in add-ons.

Hugo Ekitike is poised to jet off to Liverpool tomorrow (Tuesday) for a medical, following the Reds' agreement of a £79million deal with Eintracht Frankfurt for the striker. The initial payment stands at £69m, with an additional £10m contingent on club and player performance throughout his contract duration.

The summer transfer window is really starting to cook, with Liverpool closing in on the £300m mark as they seek a deal for Hugo Ekitike, Manchester United close to Bryan Mbeumo and Arsenal preparing to announce signing No.
