Liverpool has already recruited for billions of kronor during football's transfer window, in the form of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.

But the team has also been looking for a new striker. Among other things, it has been rumored that Swede Alexander Isak may be relevant for the club.

On Wednesday evening, Liverpool presented Hugo Ekitike. The 23-year-old will join the team's preseason tour in Asia later in the week.

According to information to AP, Ekitike has signed a six-year contract, and Liverpool will pay close to 900 million kronor for the player.

Ekitike comes from a fine season in Eintracht Frankfurt where he scored 26 goals in 64 appearances, and was selected in the Bundesliga's "Team of the season".

The Frenchman has previously played for Reims and Paris Saint-Germain, and has made five appearances in France's U21 team.
