The 23-year-old player played a crucial role in his team's victory in the first round match against Bournemouth. He scored one goal and assisted another.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Ekitike mentioned Neymar and Karim Benzema as his childhood heroes. He especially respects Benzema for his contribution to football and considers him a role model.
