Liverpool and the Saudi Arabian club are ready, the Swede’s agent has announced the choice of the way forward in a short time.

The club reportedly made two or three bids for Hugo Ekitike, but the Eintracht Frankfurt star wanted to go to Liverpool – and ended up there this week. According to Caughtoffside, Newcastle are now leading the signature hunt for the striker Aston Villa, Wolverhampton and Everton also want.
It’s about another Scandinavian. Danish Mika Biereth took the big step from Sturm Graz to Monaco and Ligue 1 this winter. Here, the 22-year-old immediately scored his way onto the radar of Premier League clubs with his impressive 13 goals in 19 games.
Biereth was picked up from Arsenal’s academy in 2022, got 4 games in the senior team with Mikel Arteta, but failed to convince. After three loan spells (RKC Walwijk, Motherwell and Sturm Graz), the permanent exit from Gunners came in 2024 to Sturm Graz. One year later and in a Monaco shirt, it can carry back to Balløya, this time as up and coming.
According to the English media, Newcastle are very interested in the young Dane, they have good experience in signing young Scandinavians at the top.
