Liverpool have begun their January transfer window by completing the signing of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven in a £45million deal.
Their domestic rivals Manchester United had been in negotiating a deal for the highly-regarded Netherlands forward, who scored three goals in five appearances at the World Cup in Qatar. Gakpo’s arrival will add to Liverpool ’s growing depth of attacking options.
The Reds are already scoring at a rate of over two goals per game in the Premier League this campaign with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in fine goal-scoring form with Darwin Nunez – a summer arrival from Benfica – also contributing in front of goal.
