As the Premier League gears up for a thrilling new season, Robbie Keane has shared his excitement — and singled out one name he believes could light up Anfield: Hugo Ekitike.

The former striker praised Liverpool’s summer business, hailing Florian Wirtz as a “clever No. 10” while revealing his personal admiration for Ekitike, whom he faced last season during his spell at Frankfurt.

“After that game, I told the lads: he’s going to be the next big thing in England. He was unplayable at times,” Keane recalled.

While unsure if Ekitike will lead the line as Liverpool’s No. 9 or slot in on the left following Luis Díaz’s departure to Bayern, Keane is confident of his versatility. If Alexander Isak arrives from Newcastle, Ekitike could feature more out wide — but either way, his pace, skill, and technical brilliance will shine.

Keane even went as far as comparing him to Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres, suggesting Ekitike has the edge when it comes to one-on-one ability and direct goal threat.

Liverpool fans may just be witnessing the birth of their next superstar.✨
