THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

James Pearce and Andy Jones join Tony Evans prior to Liverpool completing the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike.


The Athletic's Bundesliga correspondent Seb Stafford-Bloor is also back to give us the lowdown on what to expect from the imminent arrival who looks set to supplement the forward options available to Arne Slot.


The panel also discuss what other transfer business the Reds could look to conduct or sanction, with a centre-back high on the priority list while Luis Diaz has been the subject of a rejected bid from Bayern Munich.


James brings us up to speed on the tour of Asia with the Reds currently in Hong Kong ahead of taking on AC Milan on Saturday, there's also analysis of the record-breaking sale of Olivia Smith by Liverpool Women to Arsenal with The Athletic's Women's Football Writer Megan Feringa before Tony pays tribute to the late Joey Jones.
