A Hugo Ekitike shooting in training violently struck a teammate, leaving his face marked.
Liverpool did not hesitate for a second. While Newcastle had checked its name for months, it’s good
The Reds who drew the fastest, and the strongest, to win Hugo Ekitike. Amount of the operation: 90 million euros, paid in Frankfurt. A colossal sum to offer an attacker with still gross potential, but which Liverpool already sees as one of the future offensive weapons of the English championship.
Since his arrival, the 23 -year -old Frenchman has not lost time to get noticed in training. Speed, percussion, power: his physical qualities are obvious. The videos relayed by Liverpool fans on social networks leave little doubt about the good impression left by the former Parisian.
“Powerful shots”
But Ekitike has also been talked about for a more funny scene. In the middle of the session, one of his shots finished in the face of Alexis Mac Allister! The Argentinian world champion split a mocking message in Instagram story with a photo of his face after the impact: “Your shots are too powerful”he wrote by mentioning his new teammate.
An anecdote that amused supporters while illustrating, in its own way, the intensity of training orchestrated by Arne Slot. The Dutch technician seems to bet on Ekitike for the coming season, which Liverpool will launch on August 15 against Bournemouth.
