At half-time of Manchester City's Premier League win at Leeds, which took them back up to second, some breaking news from further down the table was announced.
Liverpool had quietly announced that they had agreed a fee for Cody Gakpo last week, and on Wednesday confirmed his signing from PSV to wrap up one of the World Cup's most-wanted stars.
He will relieve the pressure on Liverpool's depleted front-line, and they will hope he can help them into the top four after a disappointing season so far. In signing him, they have copied a tried and tested City tactic in the transfer market.
