New Liverpool star Hugo Ekitike earned a late call-up to the France squad as he replaced the injured Rayan Cherki in the national team. Ekitike got off to a dream start to his Reds career as he scored two goals in his first couple of matches for the Reds in the Premier League. His efforts were duly recognised by Didier Deschamps and was included in the French side for their World Cup qualifiers.
Hugo Ekitike announced himself to the Premier League in spectacular fashion, becoming only the second player in Liverpool’s history to mark his league debut with both a goal and an assist. The summer arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt had already opened his Reds account in the Community Shield last week, but under the Anfield lights on Friday night, he proved he was ready to deliver on the biggest stage.
Hugo Ekitike has made a blistering start to his Liverpool career and excited the Reds faithful with a curling effort into the bottom corner on his debut.
Florian Wirtz has issued his honest verdict on fellow new Liverpool signing Hugo Ekitike. The pair were adversaries during their time in Germany, but have now joined forces at Anfield in what promises to be a potent attacking partnership for the Reds.
Liverpool have confirmed Florian Wirtz as their new No.7 following Luis Diaz’s departure to Bayern Munich. The Germany international takes on an iconic shirt number at Anfield, as the Reds also unveiled squad numbers for their six other summer signings, including Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong, ahead of their 2025-26 campaign.
