Hugo Ekitike meets new team-mates in Hong Kong the day after joining Liverpool

Hugo Ekitike met his new Liverpool team-mates for the first time in Hong Kong after flying in less than 24 hours on from completing his £79million move from Eintracht Frankfurt.

The finalities of a six-year contract were announced on Wednesday evening, by which time the French striker was already on a plane to the Far East.

He arrived in time to watch the squad’s open training at the Kai Tak Stadium in front of a crowd of 27,000 and at the end of the session walked onto the pitch to first greet head coach Arne Slot and then the rest of the players.
