“I Can’t Play in the Same Team as Him Anymore!” – Hugo Ekitike Erupts After Liverpool’s Defeat to Brentford, Pointing Fingers at One Teammate for His Goal Drought
BREAKING NEWS:
Liverpool’s shocking 3–2 loss to Brentford has left fans stunned, but the drama didn’t end on the pitch. The real chaos began afterward, when French striker Hugo Ekitike made a bombshell statement that could shake the Liverpool dressing room.
According to reports, Ekitike stormed down the tunnel immediately after the final whistle, furious and visibly emotional. Moments later, he told reporters:
> “I’ve spoken to my agent already — I can’t stay in this team with him beyond January. Either they sell him or I’ll be the one leaving.”
His explosive words have ignited speculation about the “ONE Liverpool player” he blames for his ongoing struggles in front of goal.
Frustration Boils Over After Another Missed Opportunity
Ekitike once again failed to score, as Liverpool’s attack faltered despite dominating possession. The Frenchman appeared disconnected from his teammates, with several moments of miscommunication and missed passes catching the attention of cameras and fans alike.
One particular exchange stood out — Ekitike was left visibly upset after being ignored in a clear scoring position, shaking his head in disbelief.
The defeat not only extended Liverpool’s inconsistent form but also exposed growing tension within the squad.
A Rift Brewing Behind the Scenes
Sources close to the club suggest this outburst has been building for weeks. Ekitike reportedly feels sidelined by a senior teammate, accusing him of being “selfish” and playing for personal glory rather than the team.
Their strained relationship, seen during training sessions and matches, has now reached breaking point. Ekitike’s ultimatum — that either he or the other player must leave — has placed Arne Slot in a difficult position.
Fans React as Speculation Spreads
Liverpool fans have flooded social media with mixed opinions. Some defend Ekitike, arguing he’s been starved of proper service and support. Others insist his attitude and lack of composure are the real problems.
Regardless, the big question remains: Who is the player Ekitike wants gone?
Arne Slot’s First Major Dressing-Room Crisis
This is the first major internal conflict since Arne Slot took over, and he’ll need to act quickly. With pressure mounting from fans and media, Slot must decide whether to mediate the feud or make a decisive move in the January window.
For Ekitike, his statement leaves no room for negotiation — his patience has run out.
As the transfer window draws closer, all eyes will be on Anfield to see whether Liverpool can contain this dressing-room storm or if Ekitike’s outburst signals the beginning of the end for his time at the club.
