Hugo Ekitike couldn't dream better. Arrived for the sum of 93 million in Liverpool from the Eintracht Frankfurt, the French striker impressed for his first steps.
The former Paris Saint-Germain player is decisive on all fronts since the start of the season with a total of 3 goals in 3 disputed games. Performance that seduces his coach Arne Slot. However, the Reds manager expects much more from his attacker.
« He has already had a great influence on the offensive aspect of our game, not only by scoring goals but also by participating in the construction of actions. But, I expect him to do even more without the ball than he already does – he is already working very hard.
In the Premier League, you have to adapt to the level of intensity without the ball and in this area There are small progress to be made for him, ” He said at a press conference on Friday.
Slot still wants to recruit
Liverpool was very active in this summer transfer window with no less than 7 arrivals and more than 340 million spent on the transfer market. However, the Dutch coach would still like to strengthen his workforce even if he considers that his team is very competitive.
« As always, we try to recruit players who will help us. There is no reason to complain after the first two games (championship)or to think that we need more, but if we can strengthen the team, we will always do it if it's at the right price and for the right player. »»
