Ekitike becomes the second major addition to Arne Slot’s Liverpool side this summer, following the arrival of Florian Wirtz.

Hugo Ekitiké's initial price might garner interest, but being new to the Premier League casts doubt over reliability.
Ultimately, Hugo Ekitike has chosen Liverpool as his new home. He is leaving Eintracht Frankfurt having signed a six-year contract at Anfield and in a deal that could, if all conditions are met, eventually rise to about £79million ($107m), taking Liverpool’s summer expenditure to just under £300m.
