[🟢] NEW: For Hugo Ekitike, the decision to join Liverpool was easy.

From the moment he spoke with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot about his plans for the season ahead, the France youth international was completely sold on a move to Anfield.

It is understood Slot held a Zoom call with Ekitike, during which the Liverpool head coach detailed his need for a mobile and dynamic No.9 who could combine brilliance on the ball with tenacity and intelligence off it.

Ekitike saw himself as the perfect fit, with sources telling ESPN Slot pulled off a "masterclass," prompting the player to prioritise a move to Liverpool despite interest from elsewhere.
