There could be a debut for Liverpool’s latest big-money signing Hugo Ekitike when the Premier League champions take on AC Milan in Hong Kong.

Kai Tak Sports Park will host a re-run of that infamous Champions League final from 2005, where the Reds came back from 3-0 down to lift the trophy on penalties in Istanbul.

This meeting isn’t quite as high-profile, nor are the stakes anywhere near as high, but there are sure to be some star names on show.

Arne Slot has spent big this summer, splashing well over £200million already as he looks to send a powerful message to the rest of the Premier League and Europe.

Florian Wirtz has arrived for over £100million, while Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez have followed him through the Anfield entrance as new full-backs to provide competition to Andy Robertson and Conor Bradley, while home favourite Trent Alexander-Arnold departed for Real Madrid earlier in the window.

Now, Liverpool fans have another name to get excited about, with Hugo Ekitike fresh from his initial £68million move from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Time and date: 12.30pm BST, Saturday July 26

Venue: Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong

Injured: N/A
