Hugo Ekitike has taken to life at Liverpool like a duck to water.

Indeed, Ekitike has been brilliant since joining Liverpool, and he seems to have already struck up a great connection with some of his teammates.

Speaking to Stan Sport, Hugo Ekitike has reserved some very special praise for one of his teammates at Anfield.

The striker was asked to name who his favourite player to watch is in world football, and he gave an interesting answer.

According to the Frenchman, his favourite player to watch is none other than Mohamed Salah.

Ekitike responded with absolute certainty when asked who his favourite player in football is to watch.

The striker immediately said that Mohamed Salah is his favourite player to watch.

Meanwhile, he also went as far as to say that he doesn’t enjoy watching any other players from any other clubs.

“My favourite current player to watch is Mohamed Salah, but I watch him every day,” Ekitike said.

“Are there any players from other clubs you enjoy watching?” Ekitike was asked.

“In other clubs? No,” Ekitike said.

Hugo Ekitike’s record alongside Mohamed Salah

Ekitike says that Salah is his favourite player to watch, and these two are already becoming quite the partnership.

Indeed, the £34m man and Ekitike are yet to lose a game for Liverpool that they have played together, and the Frenchman has been scoring plenty of goals as of late too.

Liverpool rebuilt their attack this summer, and while Alexander Isak was the marquee addition, Ekitike has been the most impressive of Liverpool’s signings so far.

The Reds are in a great position to go on and retain their Premier League crown, and Ekitike is likely to have a huge part to play as Liverpool look to win back-to-back titles for the first time in more than a generation.
