Hugo Ekitike's Liverpool arrival time SET | OneFootball

Liverpool are about to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. Here's when you can expect to see him in Red.

Liverpool are on the brink of sealing a deal for Hugo Ekitike. The Reds have an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt over a transfer and it should now go through in the next few days.

This one won't come cheap, though. Ekitike will cost Liverpool around €91m, with Ben Jacobs explaining this is £61m upfront and then a further £10m in add-ons.

But to be fair, they're getting an incredible talent for that money. Ekitike is not the finished article and no one should expect that, however his talent is undeniable.

A tall, technically-gifted striker, the Frenchman can lead the line or drift into space for others. He is, on paper, exactly what Liverpool want alongside Mo Salah and Florian Wirtz.

So that's why the money is being spent there. Ekitike has all the potential in the world and while we did just go through this unsuccessfully with Darwin Nunez, he might develop into the dream forward.

That's the risk Liverpool will take, anyway.
