Liverpool hatch transfer plan amid Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike struggles as three players wanted
Roberto Firmino makes 'historic' Hugo Ekitike claim and reacts to possible Jurgen Klopp Liverpool return
Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike has revealed his surprise picks when naming the three best wingers in the world‚ with team-mate Mohamed Salah making the list despite his recent dip in form. The Frenchman‚ who joined the Reds from Eintracht Frankfurt in a £79million summer move‚ made the admission during a feature in which he was asked to name his favourite players to watch.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been criticised for revealing one of his team's biggest struggles following Wednesday's 5-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt. The Champions League victory saw Liverpool return to winning ways after a dismal run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions‚ with their most recent setback coming at the hands of bitter rivals Manchester United last weekend. With star man Mohamed Salah named on the bench‚ Liverpool cruised to victory thanks to goals from five separate scorers - with Hugo Ekitike‚ Virgil van Dijk‚ Ibrahima Konate‚ Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai all finding the target after Rasmus Kristensen's opening goal for the hosts.
Salah was dropped by Arne Slot for the clash with the German side and only came on with 16 minutes to go‚ when the Reds already had a 5-1 lead. After falling behind‚ Liverpool scored three times in nine first-half minutes through Hugo Ekitike‚ Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
Liverpool lost for the fourth game in a row in all competitions on Sunday afternoon‚ going down 2-1 against arch rivals Manchester United as their startling slump continued at Anfield. It followed defeats by Crystal Palace‚ Galatasaray and Chelsea‚ and has represented the sharp decline of Slot's side since they lifted the Premier League title in the Dutchman's first season in charge last term. In the summer‚ the Reds splashed out well over £400million on new talent‚ with Alexander Isak (£125m) and Florian Wirtz (£116m) costing over £100m each and the likes of Hugo Ekitike (£79m) and Milos Kerkez (£40m) also coming through the door.
‘His movement‚ intelligence‚ speed and willingness to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in are very impressive. Liverpool have recruited a player beginning to realise his potential' Eintracht Frankfurt legend tells Reds what to expect from Hugo Ekitike
