But I hope there’s room for improvement because he’s a very young man.”Cascarino does not expect Ekitike to be a perennial contender for the Golden Boot — an admittedly tall task as long as Erling Haaland is in the league. I’m glad he played Gomez as a right back yesterday because he’s just more naturally a defender.” Arne Slot has been forced into plenty of swapping and changing at right-back.
