Liverpool have struck a deal to sign highly-rated striker Hugo Ekitike in a deal worth up to £79million.
The Reds had been locked in negotiations with the German side after poaching Newcastle’s top target. Ekitike only wanted Liverpool and is set to complete a medical in the coming days.
The package is a £69m base fee plus £10m in add-ons which are based on team and player performance.
Mail Sport reported in March that Ekitike was a top target. Liverpool hope he can fly out to their pre-season tour in Hong Kong and Japan.
