Hugo Ekitike: Liverpool partnership with Alexander Isak 'can definitely work', says £79m summer signing
Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike says he welcomes the competition for places in the team's attacking positions as it will help all the players improve.
The Reds spent big in the summer to bring Ekitike, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz to the club, adding to a forward line which already included Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo.

Arne Slot's side are yet to fully fire this season, but Ekitike is convinced the combinations can work once Liverpool's forwards have had time to learn each other's games.
"I don't think it's the right word," said Ekitike, when asked about the 'competition' for places at the club.
"We play for the same team. Obviously there's only a few places on the pitch but we play for the same team, so we grow together, share the pitch and we just push each other to get better. That's how I see competition.
"It takes time to see the quality. For the new players, we come from different clubs, we have to find links, play together. It takes time to have the perfect team in terms of playing and collective.
"It can work, definitely. We need to train together, play together and it will get better.
