Liverpool fans convinced Ekitike dropped HUGE Isak hint in his first interview

Liverpool fans are convinced that Hugo Ekitike may have just dropped a major hint regarding Alexander Isak with his recent comments.

The £79million striker was unveiled this week after completing his big-money move from Eintracht Frankfurt, making him the Reds' fifth signing of the summer.

But the Premier League champions may not stop there, as Mail Sport exclusively reported on Thursday that Isak will explore his options away from Newcastle, with Liverpool circling.

Having already splashed almost £300m on arrivals this summer, many are wondering if Liverpool have the funds for Isak, and whether there would be room for the Sweden international in their already stacked forward line.

While Ekitike is no accountant, he seemed to indirectly answer the latter question when asked where his preferred position on the football field is.

The Frenchman said: 'I can't define myself only as a striker [who likes] to finish. I like to play, I like to be in the game, in the collective part of play [and] create also.

'So, I can do both - I can play alone and I like to play also with another striker.'

Those comments immediately caught the attention of Liverpool fans on social media, who are now speculating that the club may be planning to pair Ekitike with another marquee attacking name – with Isak the most obvious candidate.

One fan wrote on X: 'He's already been told Isak is coming.'

Another said: 'He knows Isak is coming...'

A third commented: 'Bet slot has told him you’ll be playing with Isak too.'
