It’s a real striker battle on the ball island. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United must and must bring in a pure striker who delivers in the Premier League, Newcastle have bet on a striker in safety if they are unable to keep hold of Alexander Isak. Arsenal are very close to Gyökeres, Newcastle have dropped their top pick, Manchester United… is Manchester United. Now it is reported that Liverpool are some details away from their signing.
On Friday, RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins reported the Merseyside club have agreed a six-year contract with Hugo Ekitike. The French striker has reportedly rejected Manchester United in the last 24 hours, while Newcastle have withdrawn their strong interest in bringing the Eintracht-Frankfurt star to St. James’ Park. On Sunday, Sky Sports reports that negotiations are now underway on the clauses.

Liverpool have reportedly made a bid of 80 million euros, with the total could end up as high as 90 million euros. Negotiations are now underway on how exactly the clauses should be formulated. In other words, this is happening.
Last season, the 23-year-old Ekitike led the way with 22 goals and 12 assists in 48 games in the Eintracht shirt. Now it’s time for the Premier League’s best club, who are chasing their historic 21st league title.
