🚨 Hugo Ekitike Lands on Merseyside: Medical Tests Scheduled as Liverpool Move Nears Completion
In a major summer development for Liverpool fans, Hugo Ekitike has officially landed on Merseyside today ahead of his medical tests set for Tuesday, marking the final steps of his highly anticipated move to Anfield.
The 22-year-old French striker is on the verge of signing a six-year contract with Liverpool, reinforcing the club's long-term attacking ambitions under Arne Slot. According to sources close to the negotiations, Ekitike was clear from the start — he only wanted to join Liverpool, turning down other suitors, including Eintracht Frankfurt, who were holding off for more competition to enter the race.
Ekitike's decision highlights Liverpool’s continued pull on the global stage, even during a transitional period post-Klopp. With an exciting blend of youth and raw talent, the former PSG and Reims forward brings pace, power, and technical finesse to the Reds' attacking options.
🚀 Why This Move Matters
-
Depth & Versatility: Ekitike can operate as a central striker or on the flanks — ideal for the fluid front-three system.
-
Youth Investment: At just 22, a six-year contract ensures Liverpool are building for the future.
-
Clear Commitment: His refusal to consider other offers shows his belief in the Liverpool project.
With fans buzzing on social media and excitement brewing across Anfield, Tuesday’s medicals are now just a formality. If all goes well, the announcement could be made official within the next 48 hours.
