After a challenging period at his former club, a young forward has found his rhythm in the Bundesliga.

The striker, initially brought in as a big prospect, had limited opportunities in France but decided to take his career in a new direction.

This shift came during the winter transfer window of the 2023-24 season, when he made a move to one of Germany’s top sides.

Since then, his performances have taken off, catching the eyes of several top clubs.

Well, according to Footmercato, Liverpool is one of the clubs already expressing interest in Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike.

Alongside other Premier League giants like Arsenal, Liverpool is looking to add this €80 million-rated forward to their ranks.

The 22-year-old has been unstoppable this season, fully justifying his move to Germany.

If the reports are true, Eintracht Frankfurt has expressed their desire to make him their next big sale, with a summer move possibly on the cards for €80 million.
