Liverpool have another Hugo Ekitike and he's special

Liverpool have another Hugo Ekitike and he's special Liverpool have another exciting attacker who is special and who could be another Hugo Ekitike. It has been a disappointing transfer window for the Reds, which has put a lot of pressure on the Frenchman to return to action. Hugo Ekitike's Achilles rupture probably came at the worst time last season. Just as Alexander Isak was on his way back to take some of the load off of his shoulder, Ekitike got injured. The former Paris Saint Germain forward's blow definitely had a negative impact on the rest of the team. Up until that point Ekitike was the star of Arne Slot's side. He was the only one scoring goals for fun and actually making a difference in attack. The fans absolutely adored him. It also speaks volumes when you realise that despite Ekitike picking up that injury in February, he still finished as the club's top-scorer with 17 goals in all competitions. The timeline for Hugo Ekitike's injury return Recently there have been a lot of snaps of Ekitike walking around the AXA training centre. But Andoni Iraola has made it clear he is still a long way away from returning to action. Right now the Frenchman is undergoing a rehabilitation programme. The goal is to strengthen his achilles tendon and the muscles around it in order to make sure he doesn't cause further damage to his achilles. Now the tendon in that part of the body is difficult to strengthen. There's not a lot of blood flow in the region which is why recovery for this kind of injury takes a long time. Ekitike is targeting a return to action for around boxing day. However, it could be longer than that. There's a chance he only returns towards the end of January or early February. Liverpool will be super cautious not to rush him back too soon. Another Ekitike has joined Liverpool Fans will be glad to know that the Reds have now secured the second coming of Ekitike as well. Liverpool confirmed that they had signed Djylian N'Guessan, who will join the club in the January transfer window. The 18-year-old is regarded as a special attacker who has scored 23 goals in 25 games for France's youth national teams at U16 and U17 level. N'Guessan is currently on loan at Brest, where he will get the opportunity to play regular minutes in Ligue 1. In terms of his playing style, his former coach, Lionel Rouxel, as per The Guardian , has described him as a mix between Hugo Ekitike and Jonathan David. That will be music to Liverpool supporters. N'Guessan's technical ability is definitely reminiscent of Ekitike. So it looks like the Reds might have secured another iteration of the French forward.
