Hugo Ekitike hasn’t even played for Liverpool yet, but he’s already managed to stir up the fanbase — with a toy.
The striker was recently spotted with a Labubu toy, a quirky collectible known for its slightly creepy design. It didn’t take long for Liverpool fans online to notice… and the reactions were priceless.
Some joked that the deal should be called off immediately.
LFCVik2: “Labubu? Cancel the deal NOW”
@DigsLFC: “Gonna have to ditch that labubu mate”
@moosenmooth: “My new striker is a consumerist tiktok fein smh, bag 20 goals and we won’t mention the labubus again. 💔”
@DFakExGoalanke: “Alisson when Ekitike explains to him what a Labubu is”
@LFCDrewski: “Ekitike spelt backwards is Ekitike, but he has a labubu”
@wirtzfcs: “Ekitike put the labubu down. It’s okay you still have time to be saved”
