He must have heard Virgil is staying.

Where does Ekitike usually play? Seems like he comes off the left quite a bit. He also looks very lightweight. Wonder how he’d hold up in the PL.

You can watch him play vs Spurs in 5 minutes.

Just added 5m to his price

Very similar body type to Isak and many other players…

He is slender, but he is 6’3" and at 22 likely still has a good amount of filling out to do. He was described like this in the Athletic piece above

You could be mistaken for thinking that he’s just a technical player. Not unreasonably, because he possesses a delicate touch and an array of tricks capable of befuddling most defenders one-on-one…
He is a bigger target than he looks, though, and a threat in the air. It does not mean that he is a complete centre-forward, not yet, but neither is he just a tricky player, either, or a lightweight who will not compete in the box.

He’s a curate’s egg.

Well, if you guys say so…..I’m all in! He does look quite skillful.

Ekitike looks good , could do with some bulking up though.

Peter Crouch didn’t need too.

That’s a new story as well. The stadium must be a popular haunt amongst the Anfield feral cat population.

I rather like it that they have named him after Tommy Smith. He looks like he knows how to handle himself!

Ekitike is too skinny, Delap too bulky. Meanwhile Darwin looks like he was chiseled from the finest marble but plays like he’s got a brain the size of a marble too.

We’ll be giving forwards around Europe body confidence issues at this rate.

Chiesa is a fat fuck remember.

Some players can carry being heavy set, Cantona, whilst others do well being lightweight, Crouch or Bernado Silva.

Putting bulk on can lead to increased injury risk and also a decrease in balance/coordination
