Cody Gakpo at Anfield to watch Liverpool as injured star spotted on crutches

Incoming January arrival Cody Gakpo arrived at Anfield earlier this evening to watch Liverpool's game against Leicester City - with fellow left-sided forward Luis Diaz also in attendance.

The signing of Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven was confirmed by Liverpool on Wednesday, with the 23-year-old putting pen to paper on a five-and-a-half-year deal. The official fee is undisclosed but the ECHO understands Gakpo will cost the Reds around £40m.

Jurgen Klopp had thought to be keen on adding attacking reinforcements, following long-term injury layoffs for both Diogo Jota and Diaz. The Colombian flew out to partake in Liverpool's mid-season trip to Dubai, but suffered a recurrence of the knee injury that saw him sidelined during the 3-2 defeat at Arsenal in October. Upon returning to the UK, he underwent surgery and is expected to be out until March.
