Liverpool’s recruitment drive has been relentless this summer and Hugo Ekitiké is the latest high-profile name to arrive on Merseyside.
The Reds have splashed the cash on the former Eintracht Frankfurt star, finally sealing the deal for their new long-term No.9. After a phenomenal 2024–25 season in Germany in which he scored 22 times and laid on 12 assists, the 23-year-old has been gifted the ultimate reward.
The bulk of those at Anfield will be delighted with the addition of the highly-rated French forward, but not all those of a Liverpool persuasion will be thrilled by Ekitiké’s transfer.
Here are the winners and losers from Ekitiké’s pricey switch.
