Jurgen Klopp has just dropped big hint about plan for Cody Gakpo at Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp has singled out Cody Gakpo's long-range shooting as one factor in deciding to bring him to Anfield - a big hint on what he can offer for his new club.

Gakpo was confirmed as a Liverpool player on Wednesday, putting pen to paper on a five-and-a-half-year deal after swift and decisive action was taken by the club to beat rival parties. While the official fee has not been revealed, the ECHO understands PSV Eindhoven will receive in the region of £40million.

The 23-year-old shone on the world stage with three goals for the Netherlands to add to an outstanding nine goals and 12 assists in 14 Eredivisie matches for PSV. But rather than just the number of goals, a brief hint from Klopp this evening suggests it is the type of goal that Gakpo can score which caught Liverpool's attention.
