Liverpool are keen on signing a new No.9 to bolster their attack ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. The Reds have prioritised having a fearsome frontline in the last few seasons, with more than one option in each of the three positions upfront. Alexander Isak is one of five players on Liverpool's radar to slot into the central striker berth next season.

Newcastle United have officially submitted a blockbuster bid to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, launching a major move to secure the in-demand striker ahead of Premier League rivals. The Magpies are pushing hard to finalise a deal believed to be worth over €75 million (£65m), as they seek a long-term replacement for Callum Wilson and support for Alexander Isak.

Newcastle United have reportedly reignited their pursuit of young French forward Hugo Ekitike, as they hope to strengthen their attacking lineup alongside Alexander Isak. The Magpies were disappointed when Joao Pedro opted for Chelsea over them this month, but remain determined to add another frontline threat during this transfer window as they gear up for Champions League football next season.

Eintracht Frankfurt are anticipating offers for €100m-rated Hugo Ekitike, amid interest from a number of Premier League clubs.

Liverpool are reportedly considering a move for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, joining Newcastle, Arsenal and Manchester United in the race for the French striker. The Reds have been impressed by the 23-year-old and are exploring a potential swoop as they weigh up attacking reinforcements amid uncertainty over a move for the Magpies' Alexander Isak.
