New Liverpool signing Hugo Ekitike is ready to wear the famous red shirt for the first time!
The 23-year-old striker, who joined from German club Eintracht Frankfurt in a big-money deal said to be worth £69 million, will start for the Reds in their pre-season friendly match against Yokohama F. Marinos at the Nissan Stadium.
This will be Ekitike’s first chance to play for Liverpool, and fans are excited to see what he can do after a great season in the Bundesliga last year.
New manager Arne Slot has picked Ekitike in the starting lineup as he tests his squad ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
One player missing from the team is goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The club said he has left the pre-season tour for personal reasons, but it’s not because of an injury.
