The pair are still getting to know each other on the pitch, but Ekitike is optimistic about their connection.

In an interview, Ekitike praised Wirtz's skills and said they share a common understanding of the game.

"Flo is a great player, he understands football just like I do," Ekitike said.

Ekitike also mentioned that they speak the same "language" on the pitch, which makes it easy for them to connect.

However, Ekitike hinted that they have not yet shown their full potential and that better days are ahead.

Ekitike also expressed his confidence in facing Burnley, citing his familiarity with some of the team's players from the French national youth team.

He emphasized the importance of focusing and playing together as a team to achieve a good result.
