Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Paris Saint-Germain forward Hugo Ekitike, with reports suggesting a deal has been agreed between the clubs.
The 21-year-old Frenchman, who spent last season on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt, is now set to undergo a medical ahead of a potential move to Anfield.
What Does Ekitike Bring to Liverpool?
Ekitike is regarded as one of Europe's most promising young strikers, known for his pace, technical ability, and eye for goal. His versatility allows him to play across the front line, making him an attractive option for Jurgen Klopp's system.
Despite limited opportunities at PSG, the youngster has shown flashes of brilliance, particularly during his time at Reims before his big-money move to Paris.
Why Liverpool Want Him
With Darwin Nunez facing criticism for inconsistent finishing and Cody Gakpo still adapting to the central role, Klopp sees Ekitike as a player who can provide competition and depth in attack.
The Reds have been monitoring his progress for months and believe his potential fits perfectly with their recruitment strategy of signing young, high-ceiling talent.
What's Next?
If the medical is completed without issues, Ekitike could become Liverpool's second major signing of the summer after the arrival of Dominik Szoboszlai. PSG are reportedly happy to offload the player as they continue reshaping their squad under new manager Luis Enrique.
Liverpool fans will be eager to see if the Frenchman can make an immediate impact in the Premier League as the club looks to challenge on all fronts this season.
