Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool Hugo Ekitike enjoyed a night he will remember forever, as the Liverpool forward scored his first senior goal for France in a crucial World Cup qualifier. France needed a win to confirm their spot at next summer’s finals, and the game was still tight at 1-0 when Ekitike was sent on in the second half.



Konate later revealed he had pushed Ekitike to put in extra gym work earlier in the season, saying he wanted the forward to “earn his place.” The advice appears to have paid off. But Ekitike has just nudged his name higher on the list, and Liverpool supporters will be hoping he keeps scoring… for both club and country.
