A rangy, mobile striker with top flight experience in France and Germany, the 23-year-old looks like a seriously promising addition to the front line.
In midfield, headline arrival Florian Wirtz brings guile and vision—attributes that Slot will likely make central to his attacking style.
Wirtz could be the creative bridge that Liverpool occasionally lacked last season.
The additions of Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong signal further intent.
Players like Wirtz and Frimpong, who thrive in tight spaces and can break lines, will be central to this shift.
Ekitike’s ability to drop deep and run in behind gives Liverpool an attacking option that may help unlock defences that stifled them last season.
For bettors, that means a fresh look at goalscorer markets, especially early on, as the new-look forward line beds in.
Slot’s use of Kerkez and Frimpong also suggests a focus on attacking from wide areas, with both full-backs encouraged to overlap and cut inside potentially boosting assist and goal numbers from deeper positions.
Betting Angles to Explore
With change comes opportunity – and early in the season is often when bookmakers are slowest to adapt.
First Goalscorer/Anytime Markets: New signings like Ekitike often carry longer odds until they’re fully integrated, but pre-season form suggests he may hit the ground running.
Assist Markets: Frimpong, in particular, could emerge as a surprise contributor in assist charts.
While some bookies stay cautious on early-season form, others offer enhanced odds or bet boosts for new signings – especially if they’re making home debuts or facing lesser opposition.
Despite having a title in the bag, it is still early days in the Arne Slot era.
