The Reds' manager did a fantastic job last season in guiding the team to Premier League glory, but this season could be trickier with so many new faces
Ultimately, Hugo Ekitike has chosen Liverpool as his new home. He is leaving Eintracht Frankfurt having signed a six-year contract at Anfield and in a deal that could, if all conditions are met, eventually rise to about £79million ($107m), taking Liverpool’s summer expenditure to just under £300m.
In his first interview since arriving at Liverpool, Ekitike radiated the kind of enthusiasm that’s impossible to fabricate. Speaking to the clubs website following his inaugural training session with the Premier League champions in Hong Kong, Ekitike described the move from Eintracht Frankfurt as “perfect” in terms of timing.
