""I think it's good with players in such a big club," Ekitike said. "I can't see one big club playing with only one striker, so I think it's good that he's here. Even for me at my age, I think I still have a lot of things to improve and learn, so for me it's good that he's here.""
""[As for if we can play together] that's for the coach to decide how he wants to play. That's not me," Ekitike added. "But obviously it's great players. I've been playing in two-striker composition, one striker, so I can do a lot of things. If we have to play together, I can do that.""
Alexander Isak joined Liverpool for £125m on deadline day after scoring 23 goals and providing six assists to fire Newcastle to Champions League qualification. Hugo Ekitike began the season strongly, netting five times in his opening 10 matches, and recorded 23 goal involvements (15 goals, eight assists) for Eintracht Frankfurt last term. Ekitike welcomed Isak’s arrival, saying competition and experience will help his own improvement. Ekitike stated that playing both forwards together is a coach’s tactical decision. Ekitike was sent off in Liverpool's EFL Cup win over Southampton and the pair could first partner in the Champions League against Galatasaray.
