Hugo Ekitike's red hot form

"To be honest, I could score more. I’m not that happy! But it’s not only about goals, it’s assists as well – (on Saturday) I think I gave one or two assists. As long as I can help the team and be involved, that’s the most important. I want to win so, personally, I’m happy," said Ekitike to The Liverpool Echo.
He added that there is a big scope of improvement in his game and wants to reach his best version to help the team.
"Obviously I can improve, I could score also in the last games, I had good chances. So I have to keep working. I want to be the best version of myself to help the team more, because I know I could help more. But it’s always about lessons and getting better. I’ll try in the upcoming games to be even better, score more and be involved more," added Ekitike.
