With the high amount of his transfer, Hugo Ekitike is expected at the turn in Liverpool. The “haters” have already found him a mocking nickname …
Has football gone crazy? This is what some say to see the amount of transfers made this summer in the Premier League, or cross the 50 million euros mark has become the standard.
For those for whom the adaptation in their new club will be difficult, the price spent for their purchase may come back head on, like a boomerang. It is far too early to judge, but Hugo Ekitike is one of the players who are expected at the turn after their recruitment at gold prices.
The French striker was bought for around 90 million euros by Liverpool, a record sum for a player who is not yet international A. Some wonder if the former player of PSG and Reims will not join the list of attackers (very) well sold by Frankfurt, and who did not meet the expectations placed in them.
Ekitike, Nunez and Wembanyama mixture?
The “haters”, those who have a bad pleasure in mocking players and clubs, have already drawn for Ekitike
After his first appearance in the Reds jersey. It was this week in a friendly match in Japan, against Yokohama, where the 23 -year -old French striker played 45 minutes without really shining.
Ekitike has extenuating circumstances, since he has just arrived, and the lawn was in a poor state. But some Internet users quickly castigated its technical approximations, and a funny nickname has already been found: “Darwinyama”. The contraction between the names of Darwin Nunez, the Uruguayan striker of the Reds mocked for his clumsiness, and Victor Wembanyama, to whom Ekitike would look like physical. Cruel, but creative.
