Hugo Ekitike has become one of Europe’s most remarkable young forwards after an impressive 18-month stint at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Liverpool are advancing in talks with Eintracht Frankfurt over the transfer of Hugo Ekitike. The club’s proposed package to sign the 23-year-old striker is in excess of €80million (£69.2m; $92.7m) and personal terms are not expected to be an issue.

Liverpool appear to have beaten Newcastle and Chelsea to the Frankfurt striker but must still agree a fee with his club.
