Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen hopes that the Reds' hunt for midfield reinforcements is not compromised after an agreement was struck with PSV for Dutch attacker Cody Gakpo.
Following an admirable 3-1 Boxing Day away win against Aston Villa, Liverpool fans were treated with a belated Christmas present after reports emerged of Gakpo's imminent move to Anfield.
The 23-year-old enjoyed an impressive FIFA World Cup campaign for the Netherlands, scoring three goals in as many Group A matches for Louis van Gaal's side. Whilst his notable form for club and country has been clear for all to see, several European clubs had been linked with Gakpo, and therefore, news of an agreement arrived as a pleasant surprise to fans.
