There really can’t be any argument that Hugo Ekitike has been the shining light in an otherwise underwhelming Liverpool side.
Since arriving at Anfield, the Frenchman has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Outperforming every summer signing to come into the Premier League, Ekitike is reaching historic levels at Liverpool this season.
Is Hugo Ekitike the best summer signing in the Premier League this season?
He has been automatic in front of goal, and has become an instant hit with Liverpool fans for his cool demeanour and ridiculous skillset. And he is loving life at Liverpool, too.
Hugo Ekitike asked for a description of Liverpool
Liverpool have received Ekitike with open arms.
And the feeling is mutual judging by a recent interview with ProDirectSoccer.
Asked for one word to describe Liverpool football club, his is a good choice.
“Incredible.”
That’s a word that could equally be used to describe the former PSG star, who has proved all the doubters wrong since coming to the Premier League.
Is Hugo Ekitike the most exciting attacking prospect Liverpool have had since Kenny Dalglish?
Ekitike’s relationship with Florian Wirtz is blossoming, and they look capable of leading this attack for years to come. He has everything to his game, and at 23, it’s only going to get better.
Ekitike vs Isak is getting tricky
Liverpool broke the British transfer record to lure Alexander Isak out of Newcastle.
Ekitike was almost an afterthought last summer once Liverpool reached an agreement with the Magpies.

Now, the tables have turned. Isak is the one who has to fight his way back into the side and unseat the Frenchman, who is giving no one a reason to doubt his talent.
There’s a simple solution for Slot. He has to design his system in a way that facilitates both of them, and Wirtz as well.
There has been a lot of change at Liverpool this season, but the manager’s job is to maximise the squad. That can’t be done without both Isak and Ekitike taking centre stage.
