Ekitike to Liverpool imminent?

Eintracht Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmoller has all but confirmed Hugo Ekitike is set to join Liverpool this summer.

Liverpool, who have already signed Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez to bolster a Premier League title-winning squad, are expected to wrap up a deal for the France U21 international after an outline of an agreement was reached with the Bundesliga outfit.

According to the Athletic, the Reds have made an offer of £69m plus add-ons which means the total package of the deal could rise to £78m.

There appears to be a resignation from Frankfurt’s side that Ekitike will make the move to Anfield in the coming days after he was absent from the squad that lost a pre-season friendly to FSV Frankfurt on Saturday.

Arsenal take big step towards Gyokeres deal

Arsenal may have taken a big step towards finally sealing a deal for Viktor Gyokeres.

The Gunners are closing in on their fifth signing of the summer transfer window as a deal for the Swedish striker worth an initial €63.5million (£54.86m) plus a further €10m (£8.64m) in add-ons is in place.

Though the hold up is reportedly due to a debate ongoing over the nature and structure of the bonuses included.

However, Sporting may be forced into reaching a full agreement sooner rather than later otherwise they risk missing out on a replacement for Gyokeres.

Isak, the subject of interest from both Liverpool and Al Hilal this summer, was missing from the team sheet in Glasgow.

Liverpool close in on £82m Ekitike

Liverpool are expected to wrap up a deal for Hugo Ekitike after an outline of an agreement was reached with Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Athletic reports that would represent a club-record sale for the German side, surpassing the €95million (£82.3m) Paris Saint-Germain spent on Randal Kolo Muani in 2023.

Newcastle failed with a €75million offer earlier this week before the Reds pounced. Then it was game over for the Magpies.

Frankfurt sign Ekitike €17.5m last summer after a six-month loan.
