Liverpool spent nearly half a billion pounds to rebuild their squad in the summer transfer window as they shelled out big money to complete deals for stars like Florian Wirtz, Ekitike and finally Isak on deadline day from Newcastle متحد.
Ekitike made a mark right from the word go by netting three goals in his first four matches for the Reds, including two الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز strikes. However, his place as a No.9 could now come under threat, following Isak’s arrival. The Swede has performed consistently in the Premier League for the past two seasons as the Magpies’ first-choice striker and has more experience of English football than his French counterpart.
Ekitike, however, is not concerned about the competition, as he insisted that it was Arne Slot’s responsibility to figure out the right combination. Speaking to reporters, the فرنسا international said: “When you play for the best teams, you inevitably expect to be competing with the best players. Isak is a player I used to watch, so seeing him arrive is a pleasure. It’s going to be tough competition, but I’m going to work hard to be good and perform well so that it’s just the coach’s problem.”
