HUGO AND HIS BOSS

Hitman Ekitike's happy with ever-demanding Reds manager as he promises to keep his shirt firmly on!

THE question hadn't even finished when Hugo Ekitike let out a chuckle before delivering an emphatic response. Does Liverpool boss Arne Slot push the striker a lot in training?

“Yes!” laughed the France international striker. “As a player, sometimes you're p***ed, it's annoying.

“I know he wants the best for me and the best for the team. I would say he's on my back, but not for a bad thing. He just wants to help me, so I don't take that badly. He wants me to give more and more and more.”

Certainly, Ekitike has proven himself a quick learner in English football since his £79million arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt in July with six goals in 15 appearances for the Premier League champions.
