Speaking candidly, Ekitike insisted that this star is not only **massively underrated** but also even **more important than Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah**.
> “He knows everything,” Ekitike said. “For me, Liverpool would struggle without him. He’s the most important player in the team.”
The bold statement has sparked huge debate among supporters, with many rushing to guess who Ekitike was referring to. Some argue he’s highlighting the silent leaders who keep the squad ticking, while others believe he’s pointing toward the midfield engine that links defence and attack.
Whoever it is, one thing is clear: Ekitike’s respect for his teammate shows just how vital this player’s role is in Arne Slot’s new-look Liverpool.
Could this be a hint that we’ve been overlooking the **real heartbeat of Anfield** all along?
