He'd just need some time to acclimate to the Premier League.Ekitike needed less than four minutes to score the opener in the Community Shield, his Liverpool debut, and he hasn't looked back. He's not only our runaway scoring leader with 15 goals in all comps — he's taken Mo Salah's unofficial position as The Most Dangerous Man on the Field.

He made the most of the opportunity, scoring in three of Liverpool's first five league games as well as the opening Carabao Cup fixture against Southampton (though he was sent off for taking off his top during his celebration). His consistent form and natural chemistry in this Liverpool side became even more crucial when Isak suffered his season-ending injury at Tottenham just before Christmas.Partnership with Florian WirtzCertified Liverpool hater Gary Neville wasted no time branding blockbuster signing Florian Wirtz a "little boy" after Liverpool's 3-0 humiliation at the hands of Manchester City three months ago.I'm sure G-Nev is in a chipper mood given Michael Carrick's resurgent Manchester United, but I'm hopeful the uptick in Wirtz's form has made him feel at least a little stupid at the same time.

As we saw versus Newcastle, he'll shoot early — and he's deadly with the toe poke.He's athletic like Torres, too, but I'd argue he's even more graceful. If he hadn't been so far, Liverpool's chances at top four or a cup run would be all but gone.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
