And we have got the here we go!
Ekitiké is officially joining Liverpool. However his cost will be really huge. But on the other hand he is cheaper than Isak at least. I don't think Newcastle would let him go under his current value (120 million euros).
He is a team player for sure. He made lots of assists in addition to his scoring last season. Really good move by Arne Slot!
Definitely he is going to cost less than Isak because they are not the same type of player in my opinion. If Liverpool were given the green light from Newcastle I think they Will have opted to sign Isak than Ekitike even if the money is more than €20m higher because if we look at both of them we will Isak is more experienced and already a premier league proven. So it was the complication of the Isak deal that force Liverpool to switch to Ekitike.
But don’t take anything away from Ekitike he has the potential to actually light the premier league. But the pressure from this transfer fee will definitely put him down.
