Liverpool got their first piece of business done early in the January transfer window, with news of Cody Gakpo’s move from PSV Eindhoven arriving before the month had even begun.
Jurgen Klopp is delighted to have strengthened his side with the addition of the versatile Dutch attacker, but there remain weaknesses in his squad. The injury to Virgil van Dijk has once again exposed a potential lack of depth in central defence – but it is midfield where things are most acute.
Liverpool are set to lose James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita at the end of June, when their contracts expire. Meanwhile, on-loan Arthur will return to Juventus, with the Reds not keen on signing him permanently.
