Christmas means so much to Cody Gakpo that Liverpool’s £40million move for the Dutchman had to wait until Boxing Day.
Gakpo, 23, is such a devout Christian that he organised bible classes for team-mates during Holland’s World Cup campaign.
He knew all about Jurgen Klopp’s plans to hijack Manchester United ’s interest in taking him to Old Trafford in January as the festive season approached. But he remained steadfast in his belief that December 25 should be a day to share with family and friends rather than thinking about where his future would lie beyond PSV Eindhoven.
