Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitiké (23) is a wanted man this summer. The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a transfer away from the Bundesliga club, but SGE are standing firm on their €100m

Following The Athletic’s report that Liverpool have stepped up their interest in Ekitike, journalist Ben Jacobs has provided further context on the club’s stance. He claims that while Isak remains the priority, Liverpool are ready to move quickly for Ekitike should they conclude that a deal for Isak is not viable this summer.
