Isak competition at Liverpool good for me – Ekitike

Hugo Ekitike, the Liverpool forward, claims Alexander Isak’s arrival at Anfield will help him develop as a player.

Ekitike, 23, made a strong start for the Premier League champions, scoring five goals in his first ten starts for the club, which cost £69 million in the summer.

However, throughout the entire transfer window, Liverpool pursued Isak before finally signing him for £125 million.

With the two forwards not having played together, how manager Arne Slot might use both of them in his team has been much discussed.

Ekitike praised the players in such a large club as “I think it’s good.” It’s good that he’s here because “I can’t see one big club playing with just one striker.”

I believe I still have a lot to learn and improve, so it’s good that he’s here, even for me at my age.

The coach can choose how he wants to play, as stated in the statement, “As for if we can play together,” Not me, that’s.

“But it’s obvious that it’s a great team.” I’ve been playing one striker and two-striker composition, which enables me to do a lot. I can play if we need to play together.

In the Carabao Cup last week, Ekitike replaced Isak at half-time against Southampton, scoring both strikers.

The France international scored a late winner after being booked earlier but receiving a red card.

Ekitike responded, “I think that wasn’t smart.” I’d say that I was entirely responsible for my own actions.

“I was a little let down last Saturday watching the boys from home, but I already apologize to everyone on Instagram and to my team-mates.
