Having witnessed another season of Darwin Núñez mediocrity, Liverpool have decided now is the time to sign a new centre-forward.
The Reds are recruiting from a position of strength having secured the Premier League title last season but know they must spend big to acquire their long-term No.9. They have whittled their search down to two players: Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitiké and Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak.
Neither appear straightforward deals to complete and Liverpool will have to make a final decision on which towering striker they wish to add to Arne Slot’s star-studded squad. No matter which they choose, they will be signing one of Europe’s most impressive talents.
Here’s a detailed look at how Ekitiké and Isak compare and which the Reds should sign.
