‘It can be a shock for some, but not for me’ – Hugo Ekitike lifts lid on his remarkable Liverpool debut

Hugo Ekitike (23) has had a brilliant start to life so far as a Liverpool player. The France international has logged four goals, including one in the Merseyside Derby, for Arne Slot’s Premier League champions in all competitions since his €80m move from Eintracht Frankfurt . Ekitike was adamant that joining the Reds was the best course of action to take the next step in his career.

Speaking to Canal+, Ekitike said that signing for Liverpool was his choice. “ This is what I wanted, because I had a feeling to come here, and I felt this was the right place at the right moment for me. ” Ekitike adds that he felt better prepared and more ready to get to grips again with the highest level, eighteen months after leaving PSG. “ I don’t think I got it wrong. “

The 23-year-old doesn’t think his remarkable debut with Liverpool has been a dream start. “ I really worked for it. From the outside, it can be a shock for some, but not for me. I’m carrying last season’s momentum, where I had good numbers as well. I want to show that I can be a consistent player. “
