Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike as they weigh up potential attacking reinforcements this summer.
The 21-year-old French forward, who spent last season on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt, has struggled to cement his place at PSG and could be available for a transfer.
Why Ekitike Could Fit Liverpool's System
Ekitike's versatility across the frontline and his potential for development have caught the attention of Liverpool's recruitment team. Standing at 6ft 2in, the young striker offers both physical presence and technical ability.
His loan spell in Germany saw him score 4 goals in 15 appearances, showing flashes of the talent that made him one of France's most promising young forwards during his time at Reims.
PSG's Stance on the Player
With Kylian Mbappé's future settled and other attacking options ahead of him in the pecking order, PSG are believed to be open to offers for Ekitike. The French champions reportedly value him at around £25m.
Liverpool's interest comes as they look to add depth to their forward line, particularly with question marks over the long-term future of some current squad members.
Competition for Signature
While Liverpool appear to be leading the chase, other Premier League clubs are also monitoring the situation. West Ham and Crystal Palace have previously shown interest in the French youth international.
The coming weeks will reveal whether Liverpool formalise their interest with an official bid as they look to strengthen ahead of the new season.
