Hugo Ektike is officially a Liverpool player and the Focus is aimed at who will be the next signing of the Reds, after having splashed almost £ 300 million after this summer
He is here: Hugo Ekitike is officially a Liverpool player. The Reds confirmed their seventh summer signing on Wednesday evening, while the Arne Slot team slept in Hong Kong.
Liverpool faces the Italian giant AC Milan in the Kai Tak Stadium on Saturday. The match starts at 12.30 pm UK time, which gives Ekitike a race against the clock to make its debut.
The deceased Eintracht Frankfurt -star will be with Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mhamardashvili, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman as newcomers from the Premier League Champions. The arrival of Ekitike means that Liverpool has now spent nearly £ 300 million on new signing sessions during the summer transfer window, although Anfield Chiefs could earn a decent part of that amount back by punishing a number of outputs with a large money.
They all hope to play a role in the title defense of the Reds that starts at home in Bournemouth on Friday 15 August. But can they be accompanied by more new faces?
Here is an overview of the latest transfer news from Anfield.
