The Egyptian admits he's still trying to connect the dots between him and the Reds' newcomer
Hugo Ekitike joined Liverpool in the recently ended transfer window from Eintracht Frankfurt in a €95m move. He already scored three goals in his first four games for the Reds, but the 23-year-old has yet to establish a lethal connection with Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah.
Talking to Men in Blazers, the Egyptian admitted that he is still trying to forge a connection with the Frenchman.

“I'm still trying to figure him out so far. I haven't clicked with him yet like I did with Diogo or Diaz and Nunez…I'll understand him better. And that will also help me improve my performance.”

"So far, I didn't figure the connections out yet," said Salah. "Like with Darwin (Nunez) or Lucho (Luis Diaz) or the guys that used to play in front, or Diogo (Jota). I know 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."
He added: "Sometimes, I need the ball in the field. Sometimes we need [it] in space. We are trying to figure that out, through the training sessions or like the videos. The manager shows us. So I will figure it out soon because it's also going to help my game to grow as well."
