Ekitike had a successful season in the Bundesliga, scoring 15 goals and providing eight assists. He will aim to replicate this form in the Premier League as Liverpool defends its title with new signings. The club's summer spending is expected to reach around £400 million.
Ekitike discussed his conversation with Slot, which went beyond football. They talked about personality, attitude, and what type of player Slot likes. Slot emphasized the importance of being a good person and a positive teammate.
Ekitike may soon be joined by Alexander Isak from Newcastle, who is expected to sign with Liverpool. Slot is looking for players who excel both on and off the pitch, which will enhance the team's chemistry.
The addition of Isak could create a dilemma for Slot, as both Ekitike and Isak prefer to play as strikers. However, Slot will have a plan to balance the team's attack, and Isak's personality will fit well with the club's values.
