Premier League giants Liverpool have confirmed the signing of French striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for a staggering £79 million (€91 million). This blockbuster transfer pushes Liverpool’s summer spending to nearly £300 million as the Reds prepare for the new season.
According to the club statement, the 23-year-old Ekitike has passed his medical and agreed personal terms. He is set to join the squad in Hong Kong within 48 hours ahead of Liverpool’s pre-season clash against AC Milan.
Ekitike, who scored 22 goals and provided 12 assists last season, played a key role in helping Frankfurt secure Champions League qualification. Primarily a No. 9, Liverpool believe the versatile forward can also perform as a second striker or winger, adding depth to their attacking options.
This signing marks Liverpool’s seventh of the transfer window, following notable acquisitions like Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and three new goalkeepers. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Ekitike adapts to the Premier League’s intensity under Liverpool’s management.
