West Ham are planning to lure two exciting players from Liverpool this summer in a major statement of intent, with club-to-club talks set to ramp up imminently

Negotiations have begun with Eintracht Frankfurt over a move for forward Hugo Ekitike. The Reds have submitted a written offer in the region of £70million, and are already said to have agreed personal terms with the 23-year-old. That’s despite still being linked with a £120m swoop for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
