Hugo 'Boss' Ekitike

Wasn’t as involved as against Bournemouth but that wasn’t all down to him. Took his goal very well indeed.

He places his shots.. won't always beat the keeper but will get goals . Nunez in that position would blast his shot towards goal.. and the ball usually went wide.. And Hugo seems to be wired up when it comes to staying onside.. He also went crazy with the lads on the touchline. seems to fit in well.

Is that 6 goals or assists in his last 4 games?

He's really shining at the moment. Hopefully we get a couple back soon so that he doesn't have to do full sets of 90 minutes too often (always worry about injuries when players look gassed) to keep him fresh and firing.

Could be a vital component to any stab at the Champion's League campaign and keeping us within reasonable proximity of Villa/Man City/Arsenal.

He's 23. Wirtz is 22. What a partnership they could be for the next 10 years.

He’s been excellent so far doing well picking it up deep as Bobby used to also, see his assist for Wirtz

Thank our lucky stars Ekitike came to us and not a rival. He would have improved every Prem team except City

He looks like a very composed player to me. More so than Isak. Would love Isak too but think we have landed the geezer with a higher ceiling. Has to work on areas of his game but the quality is clear to me at least Has superb vision too. Assisting plenty and many a cute assist to an assist.

His build is probably the biggest factor in him going under the radar

July 24 - anyone who spent any time actually observing his game - with any kind of eye for the game, would have seen this.

See here 7 month old clip.. and I don't care what league that is - single minded - eye for goal - brilliant footwork.. that's a player.

Imagine Arsenal had got him over Gyokores - eeeeesh!

Always find it weird how people said how Gyokores was world class, when the lad was playing in Conventry when he was 23-24?

not only that, no english club was sniffing around him then he went to Portugal and scored for fun.... but it's a different league, and he's a physical player I doubt the defense's in portugal are anywhere near as tough.

World class they said..... lol
