Liverpool boss Arne Slot has shared his thoughts on in-form striker Hugo Ekitike.
“Still he needs to get stronger but he already became stronger. I don’t think he changed a lot in all his offensive qualities – he’s fast, he can score a goal, he has great footwork, he’s got dribbling skills.
“He has so much in his locker, I think that’s the way you say it here. I think he’s adjusted to the Premier League now.
“Now he has to not only adjust but make sure – with his physique, how fast he is – he can become also physically outstanding, and that’s where he’s working really hard.
“Same with him, by the way, in the last three, four minutes, he was very, very, very tired in the Tottenham game as well. I see this more often but that is maybe also because so many of the same players constantly have to play, there’s hardly any rest for them.
“I have to give them a lot of compliments that they constantly can bring what they are bringing, playing so many games, hardly any rest because we don’t have so many chances to rotate. Every single time they fight, fight, fight from the first second until the last – and Hugo is one of them.”
