This is a time for Hugo Activa that Liverpool made his first visit to St. James after winning the race from Newcastle to sign the French forward last month.
Ekitike is a player Hoe knows well and, in an eye, he can close a brief scouting report: really good movement, intelligent, good in the air, scores round with both legs. He was low. That is why Newcasal wanted him.
“There is no doubt that I really like Hugo and have done for many years,” said how Hove. “He was someone whom we had tracked for a long time.”
This is an understanding.
In fact, Newcastle attempted to sign an anecdote on three different occasions over a period of three and a half years.
Newcastle took its first step in January 2022, when the an exit was not at all domestic names.
But the 23 -year -old always had immense ability.
Some people know that former bright -bright manager is better than Oscar Garcia, who at that time worked with Activa in RIMS.
Garcia recently told Sky Sports, “You don’t find many strikers like her at that age.” “He is tall, fast, mobile, very good against one, balls and scores score round. He can fit with teams that play more on counter-horses, but also with more occupied teams because they have skills for both styles.
“Hugo knows what aspects he can improve, but also needs to help him develop his ability to reach that level that all people know that he can assume that he can reach.”
Newcastle was not alone among the Premier League clubs in recognizing those qualities.
Liverpool was also monitoring the Ekitike for some time, when the striker re-discovered his spark in Eintracht Frankfurt after a disappointing magic at Paris St.-Germen.
Newcastle may have made an initial proposal to Eintracht last month, but Ekitike set its places at £ 69M moves in Liverpool after talking to the first slot.
This transfer proved to be an important moment in the window. In more ways than one.
