Hugo Ekitike Reacts To Alexander Isak’s Arrival At Liverpool

‎Liverpool striker, Hugo Ekitike, has welcomed the arrival of British record signing Alexander Isak.

‎He says he is excited about the challenge of competing for a place in the lineup with the Swedish forward.

‎Ekitike is Liverpool’s third-most expensive signing this summer, after Isak’s reported 125 million-pound fee from Newcastle United.

‎The club’s other high-profile addition is midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for a guaranteed 100 million pounds plus bonuses.

‎Ekitike has already bagged three goals in four appearances for the reigning Premier League champions.

‎”When you play for the best teams, you inevitably expect to be competing with the best players,” Ekitike told reporters on Sunday. “Isak is a player I used to watch, so seeing him arrive is a pleasure.

‎”It’s going to be tough competition, but I’m going to work hard to be good and perform well so that it’s just the coach’s problem.”

‎Ekitike joined Liverpool after a standout 2024-25 campaign with Eintracht Frankfurt, where he scored 15 Bundesliga goals in 33 appearances.
