Liverpool -target Hugo Ekitike reportedly submitted a transfer search to Eintracht Frankfurt while he looks at his move to Anfield to get over the line.

The Frenchman came to the fore this summer as the top goal of Liverpool after he seemed to go from Newcastle star Alexander Isak, who could eventually cost them around £ 125 million.

Liverpool has since done their approach for Ekitike – which was also chased by Newcastle and the Magpies had even rejected an £ 70 million bid for the attacker.

The Premier League champions have now emerged as favorites for the player’s signature after encouragement that he wanted to link on the side of Arne Slot.
