Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike is determined to join Liverpool and has already submitted a transfer request to complete a move to Anfield.

Newcastle submitted an initial £69.5million bid for Ekitike which represents a club-record fee. The Magpies’ current record transfer is the £63million paid to Real Sociedad for Alexander Isak in 2022 but it appears they are willing to break it to land Ekitike.
