Hugo Ekitike has hit the ground running since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer.

The Reds could not have asked for much more in the transfer window after bringing in so many top quality players, although almost all of them have struggled to adapt so far.

However, striker Ekitike has certainly made a splash and left fans in awe, with the Frenchman looking like he has been at the club for a long time.

He has scored plenty of goals and links up with his teammates well already, with many surprised just how quickly he has adapted, especially in comparison to others.

Ekitike named two Liverpool players, though, who he credited with helping him settle, with this showing just how important relationships off the pitch are as well.

Ibrahima Konate and Jeremie Frimpong have helped Hugo Ekitike a lot

Coming to a new club can be very scary, especially if the player hardly knows anyone, and this was the case for Ekitike.

The £69m transfer fee also adds a lot of pressure, although he seems to have adjusted with ease and looks very comfortable already.

His fellow Frenchman Ibrahima Konate is said to have played a big role in this, as well as new addition Jeremie Frimpong, with Ekitike naming these two as big helps.

“Ibrahima Konate, obviously he’s French and knows the club well,” Ekitike said on ESPN UK.

“Then guys like Jeremie [Frimpong] you know? When I came I thought he had been here for like three years already. It is a very good group of guys.”

The potential Ekitike has really is scary given how young he is and the way he has started at Liverpool, with the 23-year-old potentially a player who could have a very bright Anfield career.

Jeremie Frimpong has been the perfect addition

A lot has been said about Frimpong since he arrived, mainly due to the fact that he has been rather sub-par and not lived up to expectations.

However, his impact off the field has been significant, with the Dutchman appearing to fit in perfectly and almost every player praising his positivity.

This can have a big impact without fans realising, especially as team morale is needed before anything can fall into place on the pitch.

His ability is also clear to see, he just needs time to adapt to the league, and when he does, he too could be a frightening prospect.
