Hugo Ekitike is starting to make a name for himself on English pitches following his signing last summer. With 6 goals already in all competitions, the Frenchman is gradually establishing himself as a credible alternative in the Reds' attack. On a steady rise, Hugo shared which player has inspired him the most since the beginning of his career.

Believe it or not, it’s Karim Benzema. A true model of perseverance, whom he admires for his ability to stand out despite fierce competition at Real Madrid and, through sheer hard work, become one of the world's best strikers. "The striker I grew up watching? Karim Benzema. The best ever," he told ESPN in an interview.
