Jamie Carragher has questioned Jurgen Klopp's recruitment strategy, claiming Cody Gakpo lacks the key qualities of a Liverpool forward and raising yet more concerns over the club's midfield.
Gakpo, 23, joined the Reds from PSV Eindhoven in a transfer worth £45million during the January window. The move was a surprising one due to the speed it was completed with, but also because Liverpool's midfield appeared more in need of investment than their attack.
The days of Klopp's men dominating the battle in the centre of the park seem a distant memory, with poor form and injuries decimating their midfield this season. Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have been out of sorts, youngsters Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho are still finding their feet and Arthur has made no impression since joining on loan from Juventus last summer.
