Ekitike officially joined Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday in a deal that could be worth over $100 million

Liverpool’s newly signed striker Hugo Ekitike has insisted that now was the 'perfect moment' for his move to Anfield, insisting the timing aligns with his ambition to prove himself at the highest level.

Hugo Ekitiké's initial price might garner interest, but being new to the Premier League casts doubt over reliability.

Ultimately, Hugo Ekitike has chosen Liverpool as his new home. He is leaving Eintracht Frankfurt having signed a six-year contract at Anfield and in a deal that could, if all conditions are met, eventually rise to about £79million ($107m), taking Liverpool’s summer expenditure to just under £300m.

Ekitike’s former youth coach Jean-Philippe, AKA ‘Nano’, spoke with GOAL in 2021 and explained some of the qualities he exuded as a young boy, which have continued into his playing career as an adult.

Liverpool are set to splash the cash on French striker Hugo Ekitike after signing Florian Wirtz in a record deal for the club. The Premier League champions are looking for a striker as Darwin Nunez is likely to leave the club this summer.
