Liverpool have announced the arrival of former Leeds United target Cody Gakpo. News broke on Tuesday that the Dutchman will head to Anfield next month and complete a £37million move.
The Whites were linked with Gakpo in the summer after a stellar breakout season at PSV Eindhoven. In October, the forward publicly admitted that he was close to joining Leeds or Premier League rivals Southampton.
However, a deal never materialised despite Jesse Marsch saying it was '99 per cent done' before Gakpo’s price tag skyrocketed. A staggering 13 goals and 17 assists in 24 games this season had only heightened talk of a possible transfer.
