Liverpool are looking to replace Darwin Nunez at the end of the season, and they have identified Hugo Ekitike as a target.

The 22-year-old striker has done quite well for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, and he has 22 goals to his name in all competitions. The player has picked up 12 assists along the way as well.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Alexander Isak was on the radar of the Premier League club, but he’s unlikely to leave Newcastle United after they secured Champions League qualification for the next season. Liverpool have now switched attention towards the French attacker, and they are focused on signing him as a replacement for the South American. 

The French attacker is highly rated across Europe, and he has been hailed as a player with a “lot of potential”. Liverpool could help him fulfil his ambitions, and they could nurture him into a future star. 

Liverpool need a reliable striker who can score consistently. The 22-year-old is more than just a goal scorer, and he will add technical ability to the side as well. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get the deal done. He is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and the German outfit are likely to hold out for a premium.
