THE thrills and spills of the summer transfer window are well underway with some huge deals in the pipeline over the next few weeks! Liverpool have made an approach to sign Newcastle superstar

Liverpool have made contact with Eintracht Frankfurt over a possible move for Hugo Ekitike, who is also being targeted by Newcastle United. The Athletic reported on July 14 that Newcastle tried to secure Ekitike via an offer worth around €75million (£64.9m; $86.9m), which was turned down by Frankfurt.

According to multiple reports, Liverpool are preparing to step up their pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitiké. Sky Germany reports that the Reds are willing to outbid Newcastle's initial offer of €80 million, which was rejected by Eintracht Frankfurt, who are demanding €100 million for the Frenchman.

Liverpool are the latest club to have joined the long list of sides looking to add a striker to their squad this summer. The Reds have reportedly earmarked Alexander Isak as their primary target, as Arne Slot and co. gear up for the defence of their title next season.

Newcastle have been in talks with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign Ekitike for a few days now, and they are really keen to land him. Liverpool, who made an approach for Alexander Isak, have also contacted the German club to be informed of the Ekitike situation.
