Cody Gakpo explains what he's learnt from Roberto Firmino ahead of Liverpool send-off

Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is expected to get an emotional farewell in his final Anfield appearance, and team-mate Cody Gakpo believes the Brazilian deserves it after his eight years of service.

Firmino joined Liverpool from Hoffenheim in 2015 as one of the Reds' last signings before current manager Jurgen Klopp took the reins. The forward has won the Premier League and Champions League with the Reds, among a number of other honours, and scored the winning goal in their Club World Cup triumph in 2019.

January signing Gakpo looks to be the natural heir to his colleague, having moved into a more central position of late. It's a relatively unfamiliar position to him after starting from the left for previous club PSV Eindhoven, and the Dutch international has been grateful for Firmino's help.
