Liverpool are close to wrapping up a £79million deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, thus most likely bringing an end to any talk of a move for Newcastle centre-forward Alexander Isak who reportedly had been keen on swapping St James' Park for Anfield.
The agent of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has suggested a decision on the Sweden international’s next move is “close”.
Jamie Carragher, as ever, was ahead of the curve. Back in April, speaking on the ‘It’s Called Soccer!’ podcast, the former Liverpool defender offered his thoughts on Ekitike. “There’s the lad at Eintracht Frankfurt who scored against Tottenham in the week, and I’m not going to try and pronounce his name!” Carragher laughed.
Liverpool's next test after the impending arrival of Hugo Ekitike may be to resolve the burning issue at the heart of their defence. Whilst they eye one player whose contract is expiring next year, one of their own is in the same position and if not careful the door could be left ajar for his departure.
Liverpool and Chelsea are carrying the brunt of the load, with the Blues the league’s highest spenders before an agreement is struck for Ekitiké. The world champions, according to Transfermarkt, have splashed out £211m ($283 million) and have been heavily reimbursed via their work in the United States this summer.
