EPL: Newcastle coach, Howe predicts what’ll happen to Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has made a prediction about Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike's potential threat in the upcoming Premier League season. Howe, speaking at a press conference ahead of Newcastle's home fixture against Liverpool at St James' Park on Monday, highlighted Ekitike as a player to watch.
The Magpies had reportedly targeted Ekitike as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak in the summer, but the attacker ended up joining Eintracht Frankfurt. Ekitike scored on his debut for Liverpool in their victory over Bournemouth last Friday, setting the stage for a promising season.
Howe praised Ekitike's intelligence and quality, acknowledging the challenge his side will face in trying to contain the young striker. Newcastle will need to stay focused and control Ekitike to prevent him from posing a significant threat throughout the season.
