The outline of a six-year contract has been agreed, though the final details for Ekitike still need to be ironed out.
While Liverpool boss Arne Slot and his players are now in Hong Kong, medical staff and sporting director Richard Hughes remain on Merseyside waiting for the arrival of Ekitike, says the Mirror.
Ekitike, once his medical is complete and approved, will then fly to Asia to join Slot and his new teammates as they continue their preseason.
