Liverpool may have just landed a huge win in the transfer market, and it’s left Newcastle supporters reeling. 🚨

The Reds have now jumped ahead in the race for Hugo Ekitike, a player long admired by the Magpies. With talks now underway between Liverpool and Eintracht Frankfurt, Fabrizio Romano reports that Ekitike has already agreed to personal terms with the Anfield giants. 💼✍️

Newcastle had hoped to bring in the French striker as a marquee replacement following Callum Wilson’s exit. Though other names like Dominic Calvert-Lewin were floated earlier in the summer, Ekitike quickly became the club’s primary focus. Plans were even being made for him to pair up with Alexander Isak — until rumours swirled that Liverpool were eyeing Isak themselves. 😳

With Newcastle firm on not selling their Swedish star, Liverpool cleverly shifted back to their long-time interest in Ekitike. Now, with personal terms settled and a formal bid submitted, it looks like Eddie Howe’s side will miss out once again. 🔄

The 23-year-old has been in sensational form since his move to Germany, racking up 22 goals and 12 assists last season. His performances caught the eye of not only Liverpool but also Manchester United and Ruben Amorim’s side. Still, it’s Jurgen Klopp’s successor, Arne Slot, who seems to have won this round. 🔥

As for Newcastle fans — frustration is boiling over. Despite securing Anthony Elanga, their striker shortlist has taken major hits. Liam Delap and Joao Pedro both chose Chelsea over St. James’ Park, and now Ekitike has slipped through their fingers too. 😤

Social media was flooded with discontent as one supporter posted, “Another one gone. What is this window even?” and another added, “This is the fourth straight window we’ve failed to deliver. It’s embarrassing.”

Could this be a turning point in Liverpool’s summer? And is Newcastle running out of time to save their transfer window? ⏳
