Liverpool star Florian Wirtz says he’s optimistic Hugo Ekitike will paint the Premier League with goals.
Ekitike, who cost an initial £69M, is currently Liverpool’s second most expensive signing this summer, following Wirtz’s £116M move from Bayer Leverkusen in what was a club and British record fee that is likely to be the biggest deal ahead of the new season.
Wirtz opened up on Ekitike who he thinks is a fantastic talent that he is happy to playing alongside someone who can supply goals as well as feed off of.

“He is a really good player,” Wirtz told the club’s website. “(He was) a joy to watch at Frankfurt and I was really happy he signed to come to us.
“In the training sessions already, he went well and also today in the game, we had some combinations that were good. I am really happy that I can play with him.
“I think it is good that we have a few players that came in the same time. We can connect and talk to each other, and that helps when you come to a new team.”
