Liverpool fans, here’s how you can watch Hugo Ekitike this weekend
At this stage it seems pretty likely that Liverpool's no.9 could end up becoming Hugo Ekitike.
It's becoming increasingly clear that the Reds are not going to try to sign Alexander Isak for £150m. This is not really what Liverpool have done.

Liverpool are smarter than that. When they decided not to sign Jude Bellingham, it's because they were going to bring in three players for the price of one in Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.
This is what the Reds will do now with Hugo Ekitike as they rebuild the attack. Ekitike is the smartest option on the market right now.

He's a brilliant footballer who just dazzles with his ability every time he's on the pitch. He's fast and he's elusive on the ball, really hard to pin down for defenders and he's also a brilliant goal-scorer, who thrives in and around the box.
The best way to put it is that he's a crowd pleaser. You simply have to watch him to really get a feel of what he is about.
Some Liverpool fans caught a glimpse of him against Tottenham, where Ekitike didn't take long to make his mark scoring a brilliant goal on Thursday night.
That was not the only highlight of the game because Ekitike also outpaced the fastest player in the Premier League at the moment in Micky van de Ven and tormented the Tottenham defence throughout the game.
Liverpool clearly like what they see. He's been on the club's radar ever since he broke onto the scene at Reims in 2021. Anfield Watch exclusively revealed that Liverpool also held preliminary and productive talks with his representatives earlier this month.
So Ekitike is clearly on Liverpool's radar and at this stage the no.1 target to replace Darwin Nunez. Which is why you absolutely have to see him in action.
Why wait until he puts on the Liverpool shirt? You can already see what he's about this weekend with Eintracht Frankfurt's game being broadcast live by Sky Sports+ in the UK.
Frankfurt take on Heidenheim on Sunday at 16:30 UK time and it's going to be a game full of action for Ekitike because the away side are in a relegation battle and have conceded the third most goals in the Bundesliga this season.
That means Ekitike could well be in line to repeat his feat for France's U21 side earlier this month when he scored a hat-trick against England and you surely don't want to miss that.

Sky Sports have various packages and they start at just £22 per month, which is a bargain to watch an exciting talent like Ekitike week in, week out.
