Liverpool now look 'smart' for signing two No 9s, jokes Slot

Liverpool now look "smart" for signing two centre-forwards this summer, according to Arne Slot, who has backed Hugo Ekitike to come back stronger than ever after his "devastating" injury.

The Liverpool striker will miss the rest of this season and the World Cup with France, and could also be forced to sit out a substantial portion of the next campaign after rupturing his right Achilles tendon during Tuesday's Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain.
