Alexander sobs or Hugo Ekitice, who is the striker Liverpool should buy?

Gilabola.com – Liverpool are preparing to continue the glory under the new era of Arne Slot, after successfully winning the Premier League season 2024/2025.

The 20th domestic league title at the same time equal to their eternal rival record, Manchester United, and showed a smooth transition after the Jurgen Klopp era ended.

Carrying the spirit of strengthening the team while at the top, Liverpool management has moved quickly in the transfer market. One of their big steps is to break the British transfer record by recruiting Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen worth £ 117 million.

Now, their main focus is to add to the breakthrough power on the front lines. Arne Slot reportedly wanted to ease the burden of Mohamed Salah, which last season contributed directly to 55 percent of Liverpool’s goals in the league (29 goals and 18 assists).

Two names also emerged as the main target: Alexander sobes from Newcastle United and Hugo Ekitice from Eintracht Frankfurt, but who of them must be chosen Communists?

Tactical considerations, prices, and potential

Profile, sobs and ecitis have similarities as high strikers who rely on speed, agility, and technical abilities. However, sobs are called far more mature because they have been proven to appear consistent at the highest level, including being one of the best attackers in English football today.

Sobs recorded 54 goals in 86 Premier League matches for Newcastle. On the other hand, Ekitice only reached twice two digits in one league season: 15 goals in 33 Bundesliga matches last season and 10 goals for Reims in 2021-22.

Not surprisingly, if the price requested by Newcastle for Soba reached Rp 2.6 trillion, the number that would force Liverpool to re -break the British transfer record.

Meanwhile, Frankfurt set a price of around Rp 1.9 trillion for Ekitice, a number that was considered still high given its performance which had declined in the previous two seasons.

Even so, keep in mind that before moving to Newcastle, Isak also experienced a lethargic season with Real Sociedad, only scored 6 goals in 32 La Liga matches. This shows that young strikers also need time to develop, just like Ekitice.

From the tactical side, both of them match Liverpool tactics. They are able to go down to midfield, build games, and open space and create opportunities through techniques and movements. This ability is considered to be very helpful to Mohamed Salah, who is still the main attack axis Communists.

However, Liverpool are said to have to be careful not to repeat the mistakes of the past, as in the recruitment of Darwin Nunez who has not fully tuned with the rhythm of English football. On the other hand, high prices for sobs are also not without risk.

Important steps ahead of front line regeneration

The upcoming season can be an important beginning in the process of regenerating Liverpool front lines. Salah has now reached the age of 33, and players like Cody Gakpo and Nunez have not been able to appear consistent as goal scorers.

Therefore, the new striker who is recruited later does not only have to make a direct contribution in the title of title, but also projected to be the main spearhead when the wrong era ends.

Ekitice, who is still 23 years old, gives a long -term investment value. But sobs were only 25 years old and were considered to be entering their golden period in a football career.

The key is, Liverpool really need a figure who can immediately step on the gas and help maintain a league title, and appear competitive in the Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup.

If you look at experience and productivity, sobs are the most logical choice – if the price can make management frown. But for clubs as big as Liverpool who want to continue to compete at the top, buying the best striker in the league may not be a waste, but an absolute investment.
