Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp pursued Cody Gakpo when it became clear he was available in January - although the forward was not part of their original plan.
Gakpo was an impressive performer for Netherlands at the World Cup and made the £45million switch to the Premier League earlier in January. PSV were open to offers and, despite interest from Manchester United, the Reds won the race for his signature.
The 23-year-old complemented a well-stocked forward line that includes club-record signing Darwin Nunez, who had only signed six months earlier. Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are also options, albeit some have been injured this term.
