Napoli's acquisition of Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese appears to have shut the door on a potential move for Liverpool's Darwin Nunez, who had been linked with the Serie A champions. The Italian side confirmed on Friday that they had secured the services of the 25-year-old striker, initially on loan but with an obligation to buy.

Below is the latest on both Liverpool and Newcastle being in the hunt for the same forwards and it appears they have finally decided to focus their attention on different players.

Liverpool are advancing in talks with Eintracht Frankfurt over the transfer of Hugo Ekitike. The club’s proposed package to sign the 23-year-old striker is in excess of €80million (£69.2m; $92.7m) and personal terms are not expected to be an issue.
