Liverpool’s transfer strategy appears to be evolving under Arne Slot, with ESPN reporting that a personal Zoom call from the new head coach has shifted Hugo Ekitike’s stance on a move to Anfield. This development could mark a significant moment in shaping Liverpool’s future attacking plans.

Liverpool famously vetoed the £53m signing of Nabil Fekir from Lyon back in June 2018 after becoming aware of a knee issue, once the Frenchman had carried out his medical. Therefore, if something similar occurs during Ekitike’s medical check, those at Anfield could well send him back to Frankfurt.

Hugo Ekitike is expected to arrive in the UK on Monday ahead of a medical on Tuesday, as he finalises a six-year contract at Liverpool after Anfield chiefs reached an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt over a deal worth £79m (€91.

Hugo Ekitike is on the verge of joining Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt and it could affect Nicolas Jackson's short-term future at Chelsea.

Liverpool have agreed a £79 million deal with Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike and plan for him to join their pre-season tour of Asia.

Liverpool are on the brink of confirming the signing of striker Hugo Ekitike, with the forward set to link up with his new team in Hong Kong.
