Asked about a video that showed his brothers and friends celebrating his first Liverpool goal, Ekitike said: “I remember my friend was there, but it was too much. “I have the same people there when I have success and when I don’t have success, and I think they are very proud of me and I think in time they are going to be good memories to see on video.



I know it comes with being a football player with Liverpool – you are more famous, but my private life I don’t want people to know. “I like to be famous but unknown.

People don’t know what I am doing when I am home or what I do during my free time or talking to my brother.” In a world where information is at everyone’s fingertips, it is an admirable position from a young footballer who is aware of the boundaries he needs to keep in place despite the spotlight. To come here when I know where I come from,” he said.
