Ekitike considered Benzema as a role model footballer

"Liverpool" is finalizing the transfer of striker Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt's "Eintracht" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The clubs have agreed on a fee of 95 million euros for the 23-year-old player, including bonuses. Additionally, the player has also agreed to move to his new team.

According to ESPN, Ekitike sees Karim Benzema as a role model player. Like the former striker of Madrid's "Real" club, he is active in attack, works well with the ball, and enjoys playing for the team.

Last season, Hugo Ekitike played in 48 matches for "Eintracht" across all competitions, scoring 22 goals and providing 12 assists. Previously, he played for "PSG" and "Reims" in his home country.

The new transfer is expected to further strengthen Liverpool's attacking line. The player's movement and technique will bring new opportunities to the team.

The agreement between the club and the player has been successfully finalized, and an official announcement is expected in the coming days.
