Liverpool have thrown a spanner in the works of Newcastle United’s plan to land Hugo Ekitike, according to reports – with the Anfield club having ‘made contact’ to sign the young striker on Wednesday.
The report by David Ornstein on X (formerly Twitter) states that Liverpool have now contacted Frankfurt over a possible move for the French striker, with the Reds ‘working’ on a deal for the 23-year-old.
That is concurrent to their plans to land Newcastle star Alexander Isak, who they made an approach for earlier this week after his superb Premier League campaign.
Newcastle want both players, having also been interested in £86m-rated Ekitike, though Liverpool will only end up with one at most, given a move for the duo would cost them over £200million.
