Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo has expressed his excitement to succeed in the number nine role following the departure of Roberto Firmino.
The Brazilian forward will officially become a free agent at the end of June after eight successful years at Anfield. In January, the Dutchman arrived from PSV Eindhoven as Jurgen Klopp began putting plans in place for the exit of his most-used player.
Firmino signed off with two goals in two games after returning from injury in time for his Liverpool farewell. Prior to that, Gakpo predominantly featured in the starting 11 through the middle of a front three. Like many of the German's strike options, the former PSV captain has the capability to play across the forward line.
