Ekitike is expected to undergo a medical examination this week before joining his new teammates on their tour of Asia. The Frenchman has had a successful season with Frankfurt, scoring 15 goals and providing 8 assists in the Bundesliga. His impressive performances caught the attention of Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who has been looking for a replacement for striker Darwin Nunez.

Nunez is reportedly leaving the club, and Ekitike is set to fill the void. He will undergo a medical examination before flying out to Hong Kong, where Liverpool will play AC Milan in a pre-season friendly on Saturday. They will then face Yokohama Marinos just four days later.
