Liverpool 's new £79m striker Hugo Ekitike made his debut on Wednesday as the Reds beat Yokohama F Marinos 3-1 in a Friendly at Nissan Stadium. Arne Slot decided to start the game with a lineup closer to his expected first XI, with a front three of Mohamed Salah, Ekitike and Cody Gakpo backed up by Florian Wirtz.

Hugo Ekitiké, who recently finalised a blockbuster move from Eintracht Frankfurt, was named in Arne Slot’s starting lineup for the clash with Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan—Liverpool’s fourth pre-season friendly of the summer.
