Recently, Liverpool coach Slott was interviewed by Sky Sports and talked about issues about Ekitic and Isaac.
Reporter: Do you think of Ekitic only as a No. 9 player? It's obvious that you're still paying attention to another No. 9 player, Isaac. Is this the role Ekitic plays? Do you only see him as a midfielder?
Slott: I mainly think of Hugo as a No. 9 player, but he can also play left winger or partner with another No. 9 player. It's obvious that with Nunes and Dias leaving, even last season, we had five or six options, including Jota, and I think I need to mention him, so yes, we need at least one striker.
