Liverpool’s £69m summer signing Hugo Ekitike has quickly become a talking point, not only on the pitch but also in the studio. The French striker, who arrived from Eintracht Frankfurt, has already scored twice and registered an assist since joining Arne Slot’s side.

Ekitike played in the middle of a front three that also included Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, with Florian Wirtz sitting in behind. But with Liverpool still linked with a move for Isak, Slot gave an interesting breakdown on how he sees Ekitike fitting into his system and how the arrival of the Newcastle frontman could impact him.
