Hugo Ekitike meets new Liverpool team-mates for first time on pitch in Hong Kong after training drill that saw Mo Salah floor wantaway Luis Diaz with crunching tackle

Hugo Ekitike linked up with his new Liverpool team-mates for the first time on Thursday after completing his £79million switch to Anfield.

The 23-year-old striker, who signed from Eintracht Frankfurt on a six-year deal on Wednesday, jetted to Hong Kong to join Liverpool's preseason tour of the Far East and take part in a series of training sessions.

Given the quick turnaround, it is unlikely Ekitike will feature during Liverpool's preseason friendly against AC Milan on Saturday, with Darwin Nunez having netted a hat-trick during the Reds' 5-0 win over Stoke before leaving the UK.
