Hugo Ekitike has made his feelings clear ahead of joining Liverpool after it was reported he was jetting into the UK in order to complete a medical with the Reds.

The latest Liverpool news as the striker has responded to his transfer to Anfield with an emotional goodbye message to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike in a £79million transfer. The 23-year-old is the fifth major arrival at Anfield this summer and rockets Arne Slot 's spending on the back of lifting the Premier League in his maiden season over the £250m mark.

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

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has called his No.1 target this summer to convince him to come to Anfield. The Dutchman replaced Jurgen Klopp earlier this summer and has enjoyed a full preseason with his squad,

Even when it appears he is not joining Arsenal, the looming figure of Alexander Isak can still shape the club’s transfer business this summer. Arsenal and their new sporting director, Andrea Berta, have enjoyed an impressive window so far and will be pleased with their business.
