Hugo Ekitike has spoken for the first time as a Liverpool player and said this is the “right moment” in his career to make a step up.

On Tuesday, the French striker flew into London to complete his move to the Premier League champions.



Liverpool agreed an initail fee of $93 million (£69M) for Ekitike, along with another potential $14M (£10M) in add-ons which are subject to the club and player reaching certain targets.



The fee makes Ekitike the club's third most-expensive signing of all-time, behind Florian Wirtz and Darwin Nunez, and he has signed a six-year deal.



And to play for Liverpool is a big, big good feeling for me

I just can’t wait to start to play games and to win trophies.

Asked why he felt Liverpool was the right club for him, Ekitike replied: “I think that was the right moment.

“I came to the Bundesliga hungry, I wanted to show that I’m a good player and I can make the difference on the pitch

On the challenge of batting for the Premier League title again next season, the former Paris Saint-Germain forward added: “Obviously, Liverpool are already on the top, but we have still things to reach.

“That’s why we want to be the best and need to improve every season to go and reach the success.

“It’s going to be a difficult season and a long season, but we have the quality to reach everything I think.”

During his time in Frankfurt, Ekitike netted 26 goals in 64 appearances and was named in the Bundesliga Team of the Season for 2024-25, alongside Wirtz.

The France Under-21 international, who began his professional journey at Stade de Reims, made 33 appearances for PSG and took home a Ligue 1 winner’s medal.
