Liverpool complete Hugo Ekitike signing from Eintracht Frankfurt
Liverpool have completed the signing of striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. A deal was reached between the two clubs on Monday for the 23-year-old to join Arne Slot's Premier League champions, which is understood to be for a guaranteed £69 million (€79.6m) plus a potential £10 million (€11.5m) in add-ons. The striker, who scored 22 goals for Frankfurt in all competitions last season, flew to England on Tuesday to undergo a medical ahead of the deal's completion and will now travel to Asia to join his new Liverpool team-mates on their pre-season tour. It is understood that Newcastle and Manchester United had been interested in Ekitike, whose capture continues Liverpool's summer spending spree. Florian Wirtz arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in an initial £100m (€115.3m) deal that could rise to £116m (€133.8m), while Jeremie Frimpong also joined from the German club in a £29.5m (€34m) switch and Milos Kerkez left Bournemouth for £40m (€46.1m). Giorgi Mamardashvili has also linked up with Liverpool after agreeing a move from Valencia last August, along with fellow goalkeepers Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman.

Hurzeler message to Evan Ferguson leaves fans guessing over long-term future
Fabian Hurzeler has given his reaction to Evan Ferguson's departure from Brighton on a season-long loan deal to Serie A giants Roma. The Ireland striker has made the move to Italy, with Roma paying a loan fee of around €3million to the Premier League side. And they will have the option to buy Ferguson at the end of his spell for almost €40million next summer. However, Hurzeler's remarks suggest that he is open to the Meathman returning to Brighton next year. Ferguson's playing time under the former St Pauli boss last season was restricted as an ankle injury meant he missed most of pre-season training. He made just two starts and 11 substitute appearances, before a loan move to West Ham that came after more ankle woes that ruled him out for most of January. Hurzeler acknowledged the 'challenging period' that Ferguson went through during the German's first term in charge at Brighton. And he added that he would be keeping a close eye on the 20-year-old's progress over the next year at Roma. He told the Brighton website: 'Evan had a challenging period across the past season and a half, and it has been one disrupted by niggling injury issues which hasn't allowed him a run of games. 'He is over those injuries and has come back in great shape. Now he really wants to play regularly. This is an exciting opportunity in a strong league and with the prospect of European football. 'We wish Evan well for the season ahead and will be watching his progress closely throughout the season.' Ferguson joined Brighton from League of Ireland side Bohemians in January 2021 and has made 80 appearances for the south coast club, scoring 17 goals.

Evan Ferguson looked right at home on Tuesday as he joined his new Roma teammates at the club's Centro Sportivo Fulvio Bernardini training centre for his first session with the Serie A giants. Ferguson completed his loan move from Brighton before taking to the grass and kicking off his career in the Italian capital. Roma have paid Brighton a €3million loan fee and have the option to buy him outright at the end of the season for an additional €37million. The Ireland international might see some action with his new side this weekend when they take on German outfit Kaiserslautern in a pre-season friendly. Roma also take on Lens (August 2), and Premier League duo Aston Villa (August 6) and Everton (August 9), before they begin their Serie A campaign at home to Bologna on August 23.
