Liverpool are set to continue their summer spending spree by completing the signing of Hugo Ekitike. However, the Premier League champions could lose Luis Diaz as Bayern Munich are expected to return with an improved bid after seeing an opening offer rejected last week.

Liverpool famously vetoed the £53m signing of Nabil Fekir from Lyon back in June 2018 after becoming aware of a knee issue, once the Frenchman had carried out his medical. Therefore, if something similar occurs during Ekitike’s medical check, those at Anfield could well send him back to Frankfurt.

Hugo Ekitike is on the verge of joining Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt and it could affect Nicolas Jackson's short-term future at Chelsea.
