He builds on his start and tries to establish himself as a top-class attacker in the Premier League. Newcastle would be totally disappointed that he missed out on the talent of an elite like him. Given his performance in British football so far, I wonder what Newcastle fans have certainly managed to do.<\/p>\n<p data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" data-tmdatatrack-visible=\"true\" data-marker-percentage=\"50\">Meanwhile, Liverpool will be pleased to win the race for his signature. The 23-year-old hits the ground running in British football and is already an important player to them. It is fair to assume that he only improves through coaching and experience. He was able to develop into a top-class player at the club in the future.<\/p>\n<p data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" data-tmdatatrack-visible=\"true\" data-marker-percentage=\"50\">Liverpool also signed Newcastle United&#8217;s Alexander Isaac on a club record deal this summer. Swedish International is expected to partner with Ekitike in the attack. It will be interesting to see if two players can complement each other.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool manager Arne Slot gives his team directions during a friendly pre-season match.
