"Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike has four goals in his last two Premier League matches and looks to be turning into one of Arne Slot's most important players. The France international, who signed from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth up to 79m in the summer, now has seven league goals in 15 appearances. With Mohamed Salah now with Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations, Alexander Isak struggling for form and Cody Gakpo injured, Ekitike is the man to lead Liverpool's line."
"After back-to-back braces, Hugo Ekitike is in high demand. He's the only Liverpool summer signing that's impressed with immediate effect and with several attacking players injured, his minutes look more secure than ever. Spurs away followed by Wolves and Leeds at Anfield is a run of three games any number nine would relish. Statman Dave: Liverpool are creating a decent amount of chances and are ranked third in the Premier League for xG. If you're going for the free hit, then bring him in."
Hugo Ekitike has scored four goals in his last two Premier League matches and totals seven league goals in 15 appearances since joining from Eintracht Frankfurt for up to 79m. Mohamed Salah is at the Africa Cup of Nations, Alexander Isak is out of form and Cody Gakpo is injured, elevating Ekitike's role as Liverpool's central forward under Arne Slot. Upcoming fixtures include Tottenham away, then Wolves and Leeds at Anfield, offering a favourable run for a number nine. Liverpool rank third in the league for xG, creating a consistent chance volume that supports Ekitike's prospects. Dominik Szoboszlai appears likely to retain penalty duties. Matheus Cunha is a low-ownership attacking option noted for recent promise.
