Liverpool have reportedly turned their attention to Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike as a potential alternative to Alexander Isak.
Liverpool Shift Focus to Hugo Ekitike After Isak Price Tag Hike
Liverpool sealed their 20th league title with a stunning 5-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield. They are now turning to next season.
The Reds will lift the Premier League trophy after their final game against Crystal Palace. But, they already seem to be making moves in the transfer market.
One of the biggest headlines involves Newcastle’s Alexander Isak. The Magpies have put a huge £130 million price tag on the Swedish forward. Therefore, the PL champions are reportedly looking at more options.
That’s where Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike joins the race. The 22-year-old Frankfurt striker has impressed the scouts and is now on the Reds’ radar. Though Frankfurt value him at around £80 million, he is seen as a more realistic target than others.
Lookman is Also on Radar
Alongside the hunt for a new striker, the Merseyside club is also showing interest in Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman. According to CaughtOffside, the Reds are one of five Premier League clubs keen on the former Everton and Fulham star.
Lookman has been in red-hot form this season in Serie A. He has scored 13 times and also has 5 assists in 28 matches so far. With a supposed £51-55 million valuation, he could provide pace, creativity, and depth to Liverpool’s attacking unit.
Arne Slot’s side will face stiff competition to sign him as Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle also have a strong interest in the player. So, Slot’s side may have to act fast now if they want to bring him back to England.
Meanwhile, Slot is gearing up for his first transfer window as Liverpool boss. These signings could help to form a squad that can defend their crown.
