Hugo Ekitike will not score 20+ goals this season. Which means that they are spending 110 million give or take on the first year for transfer fee + salary. They could have gotten Osimhen for the same money, you mean to tell me Ekitike worths more than Osimhen? That makes no sense and he definitely doesn't. They could have spent less to get better players, they just wasted a ton of money for no reason.

Liverpool made a huge mistake with this deal, I am sure of it, they are going to not see his mistakes and issues over course of just one game, but after a while, he is going to be like a Nunez deal. Liverpool won the title twice without a proper striker, so maybe they will do it again, but they seriously need a good striker one of these years.

Liverpool has Mo Salah as goal getter but they impossible to rely on this player for whole season especially Liverpool have to play on several different competition with tight fixtures so Liverpool should have good depth of squad and last season without proper striker they can get the title but Slot feel forward lines is the weaknesses which should be improved especially after Diogo Jota death and Nunez rumoured will be left this summer

Ekitike is potential player especially he is still young 23 years so maybe Liverpool can consider him as long term investment for the team but indeed he certainly overpriced but Slot is very confident Ekitike can being an a good player in Liverpool so that's why he personally convincing Ekitike to moved to Liverpool and in this team Ekitike will gets 6 years contract

Liverpool seems to be doing a very nice business, for a team that just won the tittle I’m impressed with transfer business, Just like you have said Mohammed Salah has been the goal getter for the team, and you can never take that away from Mohammed Salah, But I’m very convinced he will come up with the goals again for the coming season, Slot was very good to get the best out of him considering his age, because he doesn’t have to do much defending anymore because of his age, and the coach have looked at the team and they will not have to rely on Mohammed Salah goals, because at some point he might get injured and he will also need some rest when fatigue comes in, so they will definitely need more legs in attack to cover up his goals.

Speaking of Ekitike he is a very good signing because he doesn’t only offer goals he can also give the assist and hold up play, and allow the wingers to drift into the box, so he has good qualities, I wouldn’t say he is over priced considering the nature of the transfer market now, players are not cheap anymore, if you need a player you have to pay the asking price, And I don’t think £69 million and £10 million add on is over priced for the nature of the market, Ekitike is just 23 years old and his a plan for the future, so he is worth every penny that have been paid for him, I’m anticipating what the coach will do with Nunez if he stays or leave the club, I feel Liverpool aren’t done in the transfer window. And Ekitike will come good and the coach will try to get the best out of him, he is young and there is room for improvement.
