Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed he has plans to play new signing Hugo Ekitiké alongside another central striker, with the Reds still chasing Newcastle United star Alexander Isak.
After seeing an approach for Isak knocked back earlier this summer, Liverpool secured a deal to sign Ekitiké ahead of the Magpies in a package worth £79 million ($107 million), after which Isak’s desire to leave Newcastle became public.
