Hugo Ekitike's Journey to Anfield: From Denmark to Liverpool
The 23-year-old joined Liverpool for £69million this summer.
Hugo Ekitike’s Arrival at Anfield
Liverpool supporters have seen many exciting forwards pull on the red shirt, but few have arrived with quite the same blend of raw potential, proven ability and stylistic fit as Hugo Ekitike. At 23 years of age, the French forward has already travelled a remarkable footballing path, from the youth pitches of Reims to the glamour of Paris and the intensity of the Bundesliga. Now he steps into the unique atmosphere of Anfield, with a six-year contract and the promise of a long-term role in Arne Slot’s plans.
The £69million signing has made his debut for the club and already experienced the Anfield crowd in a pre-season win over Athletic Bilbao. His assist for Mohamed Salah in that match was a flash of exactly what he can offer. Liverpool fans have reason to feel this could be the start of something special.
