Former Ajax and Barcelona defender Frank de Boer believes Liverpool have secured the services of one of the "biggest talents" in Holland following their acquisition of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven.
Last night, it was announced that Gakpo has penned a long-term contract until the summer of 2028 after completing his medical on Merseyside, which came just days after the Reds' outgoing sporting director, Julian Ward, had spent his festive period in dialogue with his PSV counterpart, Marcel Brands, thrashing out a deal.
In doing so, Liverpool successfully fended off long-term interest from Premier League foes Manchester United and their manager Erik Ten Hag, who had been keen on a deal for the Dutch prodigy during the summer and had been expected to make a formal move in the January transfer window.
