It is fair to say that after his summer transfer, Hugo Ekitike made an excellent start of life in Liverpool.
The Frenchman moved from Eintracht Frankfurt to Anfield for a fee of £ 69 million (in the front).
Since that point he has opened the score against both Crystal Palace (Community Shield) and Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Jamie Carragher Looft ‘Briljante’ Hugo Ekitike against Bournemouth
Jamie Carragher was a pundit impressed by Ekitike’s first competitive show in Anfield on Friday evening.
The former Liverpool Center-back hurried to add that the 23-year-old was of course far from the end product-sure compared to reported transfer target Alexander Isak.
“For me he made a brilliant start,” The expert spoke about Sky Sports’ coverage.
‘He’s not as good as [Alexander] Isak, of course he is not – he is four or five years younger than him.
“But I am sure that when Liverpool bought him, they thought:” This guy can grow into one of the top strikers in world football. “
“He made a brilliant start!”

The former Bundesliga Hitman was involved in two goals in the night, and also offered the assist for Cody Gakpo’s Lead-Doubling effort four minutes in the second half.
Should Ekitike be worried about Alexander Isak?
Every out-and-out striker with half a brain should be seriously worried about Alexander Isak.
The Swede is objectively one of the leading strikers in world football – demonstrably in the top three braces around the world.
That said, we just can’t imagine a world where Liverpool would sign the Newcastle Hitman without having a plan to protect Ekitike’s development and match minutes.
Cody Gakpo was statistically impressive for Liverpool
Sofascore Ekitike presented an 8/10 rating for his efforts against the men of Andoni Iraola in Anfield.
Although it was undoubtedly an impressive score, the French football player was by Cody Gakpo (8.7/10) and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo (8.7/10) by Cody Gakpo (8.7/10) and Bournemouth’s Antoine leader and Bournemouth.
Although the Dutch international received an extra half hour on the field and recorded a number of impressive statistics:
→ 1 goal
→ 3 key passes
→ 21/29 Passes completed (72%)
→ 1 big chance
→ 2/7 dribbles successfully completed
→ 6/12 ground matches won
→ 6/11 air duels won
→ possession lost 18 times
→ polluted three times
We are not so sure that Hugo Ekitike was a million miles away from his colleague Liverpool Vooruit. That said, there is no doubt that the couple excelled in a game that was very defined by the attacking lines.
