My Take

Hugo Ekitike is the kind of forward I instinctively root for: a hometown kid from Reims who worked through the reserves and climbed all the way to Liverpool and the France squad. At 190 centimeters he should be a blunt target man, yet his game is built on elegant touches and clever movement, which makes him far more interesting to watch. Strikers with his profile either refine into something special or stall in the gap between promise and product. I am betting on the former — the trajectory from a provincial academy to Anfield suggests a player who answers every challenge by leveling up.
