Liverpool have been told that Cody Gakpo would not get into their starting lineup amid reports linking the Reds with a move for the Netherlands international.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have suffered with injuries all season and two key players in the form of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have been sidelined for the long-term - with the latter now out until March. As a result, the Reds have been backed to find a replacement in the January transfer window.
However, club legend John Barnes believes that, despite Gakpo’s obvious quality and remarkable goal involvement record, he would struggle to solidify a regular starting spot in Liverpool ’s current side.
