September 2025

New signing Hugo Ekitike has made a flying start at Liverpool, scoring in his first three matches to match Daniel Sturridge’s 2013 record. His form has also earned him his first senior France call-up during the September international break. Goals against Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Newcastle cemented his impact, while positive contributions versus Arsenal kept his momentum going. Ekitike credits teammates and Arne Slot’s support for helping him quickly adapt and settle into life at Anfield.

Slot admitted Liverpool were “very close” to landing Marc Guehi on deadline day, with a £35m deal agreed and paperwork filed. Palace pulled out at the last moment after failing to secure a replacement, leaving Guehi to remain at Selhurst Park. Slot reflected that such last-minute twists happen in football and compared it to Liverpool nearly losing players in the past. He stressed Guehi is still in a good place with Palace and left the door open for future opportunities.

Liverpool’s record £125m signing Alexander Isak won’t start against Burnley, per Joe Cole. After forcing his move from Newcastle, the Swede lacks match fitness, having skipped his former club’s early fixtures, and is expected to be eased in. Cole stressed Liverpool’s smart approach, noting Hugo Ekitike’s strong form means there’s no rush. Isak will likely debut off the bench, gradually settling before leading the line in Klopp’s system. Fans must wait slightly longer for his full arrival.

Later, Mac Allister posted “YOU ARE NOT LIKE THAT!” on Instagram, hinting at unfinished business before their Premier League clashes.

After sealing a British record £125m transfer from Newcastle to Liverpool, Alexander Isak is yet to make his debut. Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson confirmed he was benched against Slovenia due to fitness concerns after minimal training sessions. Isak skipped Newcastle’s pre-season after striking to force his move, leaving him short of match sharpness. Tomasson judged the risk too high to play him. Liverpool now eye Burnley next week as a potential debut, with hopes he can hit the ground running.
