Jurgen Klopp reveals Cody Gakpo plans and position as he becomes Liverpool's sixth forward

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Cody Gakpo is capable of playing anywhere across the front line - but also admitted the forward's preference would be on the left wing.

Liverpool completed the signing of the 23-year-old from PSV on Wednesday night after they hijacked Manchester United's move for the highly-rated Netherlands international. Gakpo scored three goals in five matches at the World Cup for his country and has also impressed for his club this term, having netted 14 times in 23 games.

However, Gakpo will have to wait until January to play his first competitive game for the Reds and is therefore unavailable to feature in their clash with Leicester City on Friday evening. The talented striker played against the Foxes for PSV in the Europa Conference League last season but isn't eligible to play this time around.
