Indeed, speaking to CGTN Sports, Frimpong has been discussing Ekitike after he arrived, and he says that the forward is a fantastic player who will certainly make Liverpool a better team heading into the new season.
Jeremie Frimpong says Hugo Ekitike is a fantastic player
Frimpong spoke about the new arrivals at Anfield and Ekitike.
The defender, inevitably, said he was happy to be working alongside Florian Wirtz after their fantastic partnership together at Bayer Leverkusen.
Meanwhile, the Dutchman also said that Hugo Ekitike is a fantastic player, sharing his verdict on the Reds’ new striker.
“Yeah of course, coming with Flo, he was my teammate at Leverkusen, so coming together was good. We are really good friends. Of course, Hugo, I don’t know him personally, but I know he is a fantastic player from what he did last season with Frankfurt, so he will help the team for sure,” Frimpong said.
Hugo Ekitike’s record vs Jeremie Frimpong
Frimpong may not know Ekitike personally, but he knows plenty about him as a player.
Indeed, these two have played against one another on a few occasions back over in Germany, and it’s fair to say they have an interesting record playing against one another.
| Hugo Ekitike’s record vs Jeremie Frimpong | |
| Games | 3 |
| Wins | 0 |
| Draws | 0 |
| Losses | 3 |
| Goals | 2 |
Ekitike has lost every single game he’s played against Frimpong in his career, but, interestingly, he does have two goals in three matches against his new Liverpool teammate.
Luckily for both players, they no longer have to face off as opponents as they will now both be in the same team helping one another rather than doing battle as rivals at Frankfurt and Leverkusen respectively.
