Liverpool hint at Hugo Ekitike's future Liverpool number

Hugo Ekitike is here, and he's perfect.

He's Liverpool's seventh new arrival in the window, counting in Giorgi Mamardashvili, who technically agreed to join the Reds last summer but only completed his move this year.

Alongside him, there's also Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman.

The Reds are not done yet. However, much of their activity will be determined by outgoings before they look to bring in more reinforcements.

Who those reinforcements may be remains to be seen. Alexander Isak is still on the club's radar, meanwhile, a centre-back is also needed before the window shuts close.

For now though, Liverpool will be just delighted they solved a major headache in the no.9 position, where Arne Slot has always wanted to reinforce his options.

In Ekitike, Liverpool have gotten a really exciting forward, too. Someone who the club will believe can go very far in the game.

His potential is limitless and he is a really good fit for the way Slot wants to play football. Ekitike is dynamic and he thrives inside the box but he's multifaceted in the sense that he can also create chances for his teammates, run into the channels and take players on one vs one.

Undoubtedly when there's a new signing one of the most exciting aspects about their arrival is finding out what number they are going to wear.

For Ekitike, just like every other new Liverpool signing this summer, there's going to be a wait.
