Isak completed a transfer to the Reds from Newcastle United on deadline day and therefore joins fellow summer arrival Ekitike among Arne Slot\u2019s attacking ranks.<\/p>\n
Ekitike has enjoyed an impressive start to his Anfield career, scoring three goals in four appearances prior to the ongoing international break, during which he has made his senior debut for France.<\/p>\n
When asked about Isak\u2019s arrival, the 23-year-old said: \u201cIt\u2019s fun. When you play for the best teams, you expect to be competing with the best players. Isak is a player I\u2019ve watched too, so seeing him arrive is a pleasure.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be tough competition, but I\u2019m going to focus on performing well so that it\u2019s a problem for the manager.\u201d<\/p>\n
On life as a Liverpool player following his move from Eintracht Frankfurt, Ekitike continued: \u201cObviously my life has changed. It\u2019s a big move and I\u2019m watched a thousand times more but I\u2019m taking it positively, it\u2019s really good. It\u2019s the position I wanted to be in.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you have this kind of standard, you have to show that you belong here and you have to continue to perform. But it\u2019s a position that I like and that I want to keep.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Isak completed a transfer to the Reds from Newcastle United on deadline day and therefore joins fellow summer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409315,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[1050,1051,1039,1046,1041,1052,1054,1053,763,1045,1044,1040,1049,1042,1047,79,1043,16,15,1048],"class_list":{"0":"post-409314","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-firmino","10":"tag-homepage","11":"tag-klopp","12":"tag-lfc","13":"tag-lfc-news","14":"tag-lfctv","15":"tag-lfctv-go","16":"tag-liverpool-fc","17":"tag-liverpool-fc-match","18":"tag-liverpool-fc-news","19":"tag-liverpool-football-club","20":"tag-mane","21":"tag-reds","22":"tag-salah","23":"tag-sports","24":"tag-the-reds","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-united-kingdom","27":"tag-van-dijk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115171983547647483","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
