When Hugo Ekitike signed with Liverpool, no Alexander Isak transfer seemed on the horizon. The Eintracht Franfurt star was brought in to replace Darwin Nunez, who was on his way safely away from Anfield. Ekitike acclimatized in record time, has delivered in the Liverpool shirt with 3 goals in four games, two of the goals in the Premier League. So when it became clear that the 23-year-old will compete for playing time with last season’s second-highest scoring player in the Premier League, many probably thought Ekitike would take it as a downer. Liverpool supporters have nothing to fear.
For the French striker, Isak’s signing takes with great calm, competitive spirit and joy of having a world-class striker in the squad.

“When you play for the best clubs, you inevitably expect to have to compete with the best players. Isak is a player I used to watch, so it’s a pleasure that he’s coming to our team now. It will be tough competition, but I will work hard to be good and perform well, so it will only be the coach’s problem, says Ekitike according to Reuters.
