It is no secret that Liverpool are entering the summer transfer market in search of a new striker.

Darwin Nunez is expected to leave Liverpool this summer, while the future of Diogo Jota at Anfield remains up in the air, although the Portuguese star is expected to remain on Merseyside.

In a new report from the Daily Mail, Lewis Steele has stated that Ekitike is a player Liverpool are certainly watching and that it is a transfer worth keeping a close eye on.

“The France Under 21 star has scored 19 goals and made eight assists for Eintracht Frankfurt this season and ticks a lot of boxes in terms of his age profile and experience – he is playing every week in a top league and has European experience, too.”

There are other names Liverpool are believed to have an interest in; however, a £140m Premier League duo have been ruled out ahead of the summer transfer window.

More of a false nine profile, Liverpool have also been linked to Joao Pedro as the Brighton forward reminds those at Anfield of Roberto Firmino, who was a big success on Merseyside.

There has been talk that Liverpool have lodged an interest in the Brazilian but I don’t believe this to be true at this stage.”

It remains to be seen what striker Liverpool add to Slot’s squad for the 25/26 campaign but the smart money at present will be placed on Ekitike for several reasons, although everyone associated with the Merseyside club are still dreaming of Isak.
