Robin van Persie has already told Liverpool that Cody Gakpo isn't an "out-and-out striker" after the Reds struck a deal for the talented attacker on Boxing Day.
PSV confirmed that they had agreed a deal with Liverpool for Gakpo after the Reds hijacked Manchester United's move for the Netherlands international. Erik ten Hag was reportedly keen on bringing the 23-year-old to Old Trafford, but the Reds had other ideas and stole the forward from their grasp.
The Dutch club announced that Gakpo will be joining the Reds in a club-record move in an initial fee worth around £37million, with the deal expected to rise to £45m. With Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota currently out injured, Jurgen Klopp needed to act in the transfer market and will feel that Gakpo will slot straight into the side after the New Year.
