Midtjylland defender Ousmane Diao has revealed his admiration for Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike and claimed that he would love to play alongside the French international. Diao came up against the 23-year-old last season and found it difficult to deal with the striker. He has revealed that he would love to play alongside the Liverpool player someday. He also added that he dreams of a move to the Premier League.

Ibrahima Konate will be a free agent at the end of the season, and Joe Gomez can be quite injury-prone. They need multiple Central defenders in the coming months. They were close to signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace during the summer transfer window.It will be interesting to see if the 21-year-old defender can continue impressing with Midtjylland and propel himself on the radar of top teams like Liverpool. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could prove to be a useful acquisition.
