Jurgen Klopp confirms Roberto Firmino replacement as 'Barcelona transfer agreed'

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Cody Gakpo can fill the void left by Roberto Firmino after it was confirmed the Brazilian has agreed a move to Barcelona.

Firmino, 31, has been at Liverpool since 2015 but is set to depart the club at the end of his contract in June - despite being offered fresh terms. The Mail first reported that the former Hoffenheim man is now expected to join the Spanish giants, having scored an impressive 109 goals in 360 appearances during his time at Anfield.

Despite Firmino's impending departure, Klopp may have already found a replacement. January arrival Gakpo has impressed since his big-money move from PSV. The Dutchman has scored five goals in 14 Premier League matches and started in the centre-forward berth for Liverpool's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.
