Liverpool have a golden chance to sign another French star this summer.
Hugo Ekitike has already arrived through the doors at the club. He touched down in Hong Kong to link-up with the rest of the team on Thursday and it remains to be seen just when he's going to be making his debut.

He becomes the second Frenchman in Arne Slot's squad, with Ibrahima Konate being the other. Konate's fate is of course up in the air, having entered the final 12 months of his current deal.
There remains optimism he could extend, and Liverpool could have a way of enticing him by bringing in a strong French core.
In Ekitike, Konate will already have an ally, but what's better than one ally? The answer is two allies.
And the perfect player is now seemingly availabe on the market. Someone Liverpool should be fighting to sign.
According to TBR Randal Kolo Muani's move to Juventus is at the risk of collapsing and he's now made himself available to other teams on the market.
The Paris Saint Germain forward is up for sale this summer and it's almost certain he will be on the move. There are a number of Premier League clubs interested in his services and Liverpool should be one of them.
This is a player who would really fit in nicely with the way Arne Slot is trying to get the Reds to play football. Kolo Muani is a rapid striker who can create chances and can be very reliable inside the penalty area.
His pace and ability to run in the channels and on the wings, makes him a versatile option and he's got a very good goal-scoring record even though things haven't quite worked out for him at PSG.
Only 26-years-old, he's in the prime of his career. Liverpool's dream might be Alexander Isak, and that's a deal that could get done. However, if for some reason a move for the Swede falls through, which is possible given Newcastle's strong stance in not wanting to sell him, Kolo Muani becomes an ideal alternative.
At the end of the day, Liverpool will need more reinforcements.
Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa are all expected to depart. If all three leave, it cannot just be Isak or nothing.
The Reds will not be able to rely on Cody Gakpo, Hugo Ekitike and Mohamed Salah alone as their three senior options in attack.
Bringing in Kolo Muani could be a really smart move. He's likely available for a cut price, given PSG are looking to sell him and that makes him a market opportunity.
In turn, Liverpool could add another Frenchman to the squad, to add to Ekitike and Konate.
