Liverpool target is '99%' going to LEAVE this summer

Liverpool target Hugo Ekitike looks certain to move this summer. The Reds can take advantage.

Liverpool will almost certainly be in the market for a striker this summer. Anfield Watch understands that an overhaul of the attack is on the cards and we could be seeing a lot of change.

It's a major statement from the Reds, who are willing to rip up an attack that has them sitting at the top of the Premier League. But that's just a sign of the potential they see under Arne Slot.

Darwin Nunez, though, is certainly linked with an exit. There's interest from Saudi Arabia, as initially revealed by Anfield Watch and while the Reds rejected offers in January, they won't be so eager to say no once the season is over.

That brings about interest in strikers. Liverpool want someone to lead the line, with Nunez struggling to perform and Diogo Jota struggling to stay on the pitch.

Alexander Isak is one name that keeps popping up. He's arguably the most in-form centre-forward in football right now and Liverpool would love to sign him.

He's just also very, very expensive.

Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool?

Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike is another linked with Liverpool ahead of the summer. The Frenchman is in fantastic form in the Bundesliga and it's no great surprise that the Reds have their eyes on him.

He may even be a better option than Isak, all things considered.

And it's also increasingly obvious that he'll be on the move. Sky Germany claims it's '99 per cent' certain that he'll depart Frankfurt in the summer.

Florian Plettenberg then reiterated that, suggesting he'd cost €80m and that Frankfurt are making preparations for his exit. Once again, they're set to bring in an enormous amount of cash for a forward.

This is definitely one to watch, especially after Isak's injuries have started to kick in again. Ekitike is a forward who can seemingly do it all and at 22, he may be the future of Liverpool's forward line.

Someone looks set to get him this summer. Will it be the Reds?
