In a recent interview, Heskey talked about the status of Liverpool's players. He said that he likes Ekitic very much.
Heskey said: "I like Ekitic's hard-working attitude, I like his movement, he has a nose and is not afraid to take on opponents."
"I think he will be unhappy that he does not play because he is the best player among all forwards. The best performer, he's the one who stands out, and by forward I include everyone. "
"Out of the front three, I think he's had the best start, probably tied with Gakpo, but to be honest, Ekitic has really brought a breath of fresh air. "You don't know what's going to happen when you bring in a young guy from another country."
For Isaac, Heskey said: "I think it's very important to have a good pre-season training, especially for a new team, a new tactical system and needs. What kind of intensity."
"Now we know there's something wrong with his groin, which explains why he can't move as fast as he did before. We need him to get back to 100%, not 50% or 60%."
"So I think. He needs to take time to fully recover and get back to where we need him to be and move forward. We already know how good he is and what he can do, but now we need to see what he can do in a red jersey."
"The hardest thing about leading a team is keeping the entire squad. Stay hungry, there are two or three options for each position, it keeps you on your toes, stays hungry, keeps competing, wanting to be the best because you know there's someone waiting to take your spot. "
"Isaac and Ekitic, those two are competing, like. It would be nice if they could play two forwards together, but at the moment they are competing with each other."
Regarding Salah, Heskey said: "It is difficult to adapt to new teammates sometimes. What is interesting is, are they adapting to him, or is he adapting to them? Salah is already in Liverpool? He is a player who has proven himself for a long time. "For Salah, we need him to be more involved in the game and create more threatening balls. This does not only mean scoring goals, but posing a threat every moment."
