Recruited this summer for around 90 million euros, Hugo Ekitike has launched his season perfectly with Liverpool (5 goals in 10 games). But the British club did not hesitate to hit a big blow by attracting Alexander Isak for € 145 million on the last day of the transfer window. XXL competition that the Frenchman is hosting positively, convinced that the presence of the Swedish scorer can help him cross a CAP. It remains to be seen how Arne Slot will succeed in making her two offensive assets coexist, never aligned together.
“I think it's a good thing to have several attackers in such a big club”Ekitike told the Bbc. “I don't see a single big club playing with a single attacker, so I think it's good that he is there. Even for me, at my age, I think I still have a lot to improve and learn. As for whether we can play together, that is up to the coach to decide how he wants to play. It's not mine. But obviously, they are great players. I have already played in a system with two attackers, or alone at the forefront, so I can do a lot. If we have to play together, I can do it. ” The two attackers scored against Southampton in League Cup last week, with Ekitike who replaced Isak at halftime. They will have a new opportunity to shine this Tuesday evening in the Champions League, traveling on the lawn of Galatasaray.
