Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has acknowledged that he has yet to build a strong on-field understanding with new signing Hugo Ekitike.
Salah, who is now leading the Reds’ attack alongside summer arrivals Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, also saw the club complete a record-breaking deadline-day deal for Alexander Isak. The trio have come in to replace Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez, who departed during the transfer window, and Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a car accident.
Despite beginning their Premier League title defence with three consecutive victories, Liverpool’s overall performances have drawn criticism. Salah himself has managed just one goal and one assist so far in the 2025/26 campaign.
Speaking on the Men in Blazers podcast, the Egyptian admitted he is still adjusting to his new attacking partners.
“So far I didn’t figure the connections out yet,” Salah said. “Like with Darwin or Lucho or the guys they used to play in front, or Diogo. I knew where to start with Diogo or Darwin. I know where to find them. I knew their game very well but with Hugo he’s still new.”
