Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has admitted he has not developed any on-field connection with new signing Hugo Ekitike.

Salah now shares the attacking duties with two new arrivals, Ekitike and Florian Wirtz.

The Reds also sealed a deadline-day deal for Alexander Isak.

They have taken the places of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, who left in the window, and Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car crash.

Liverpool have began the defence of their Premier League title with three consecutive wins. But the overall performances have been far from convincing.

So far, in the 2025/2026, Salah has only recorded one goal and one assist.

He told Men In Blazers podcast: “So far I didn’t figure the connections out yet.

“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.”
