Cisse: I thought Ekitic wouldn’t have many chances but I was wrong; it’s good to have multiple strikers to choose from

October 16th: French forward Ekitic performed well after joining Liverpool this summer. Red Army veteran Djibril Cisse said that this exceeded his expectations.

Cisse said: "He brings goals to the team. Ekitic has proven this in the Bundesliga, and he has also shown his ability after coming to Liverpool. I was originally worried that he would not get too many playing opportunities, but it turned out that I was wrong. He did not He only got a chance and performed well and kept scoring goals. Between Salah and Isaac, Ekitic also provides a different choice

"He is a very good player. I have known him since I was in France and know his level. But to be honest, I didn't expect him to be as good as he was so quickly. I think if Ekitic continues this form and cashes in his scoring chances, the choice of head coach will become difficult.

"But this is the charm of football, and the season is also long. You need to keep all the forwards on the team in the best condition throughout the season. It is a good thing to have multiple forwards who can guarantee the goal rate."

Ekitic has played 10 games on behalf of Liverpool so far this season, contributing 5 goals and 1 assist.
