Hugo Ekitike is poised to inject a dose of high spirits into Liverpool's dressing room, as per his ex-skipper's words.

Although his time there was brief, Vejle's then-captain Jacob Schoop spoke highly of Ekitike's influence - though he said his personality wasn't quite what they're used to in Denmark.

Chatting with BBC Sport, Schoop beamed as he reminisced about Ekitike's time at the club, giving a sneak peek to his future Liverpool team-mates about the vibrant personality they're set to welcome.



"He was always in a good mood, and he liked to have some fun in the dressing room," Schoop shared.

"If there was a song on the speaker he would be dancing.

"There was a game against Sonderjyske that if we won, we avoided relegation.

Hugo was unbelievable in that game," he said.

"That's the sign of a big game player - to step up and find that bit extra."

Ekitike is gearing up for his medical this week before jetting off to Hong Kong to join the Liverpool squad, who have already landed there for a 10-day pre-season tour.
