Hugo Ekitike Gives Honest Feelings About Liverpool Signing Alexander Isak - 'It's a Problem' - Liverpool Echo
Hugo Ekitike, signed for £79 million, is competing with new signing Alexander Isak for Liverpool's starting striker role after scoring three goals in his first three games.
- Last week, Liverpool announced the arrival of Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for �79 million, signing a six-year contract as he started the opening three matches.
- Facing summer departures, Liverpool FC refreshed its attack by signing Hugo Ekitike, addressing needs after Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz left, aligning with Arne Slot's push for domestic and European success and the club's youth recruitment model.
- His club form led to a France national team call-up after scoring in the first three of his four competitive appearances for Liverpool.
- Isak's arrival forces tough calls for manager Arne Slot, but Ekitike is likely to start against Burnley as Isak lacks match fitness after his 125m transfer.
- Ekitike's form this season may determine his long-term role as his ability to compete for a starting spot could shape Liverpool's fortunes and boost his 2026 FIFA World Cup prospects, with the transfer possibly costing $106 million including add-ons.
