Liverpool officially announced they have signed forward Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven with the player completing medical at AXA Training Centre.

Inform Nigeria previously reported that Liverpool and PSV reached an agreement on Boxing Day to sign the Manchester United target.

The Netherlands international will officially become a Reds player on January 1, 2023, subject to a work permit and will wear the No. 18 jersey at Liverpool.

“I feel really good, I’m really excited to be here,” Gakpo told Liverpool official club website.

“I’m looking forward to start training and start playing for this amazing club.

“I think this is a great club for me to come in and try to show what I can [do] and try to help the team to achieve more beautiful moments that they already did in the past years.

“I think for me personally it’s also good to develop here and there’s a lot of great players here [who] I can learn a lot of things from.

Jurgen Klopp added that Gakpo will have an extremely bright future at Liverpool.

He said: “There is a lot to like about Cody. He is still only 23 years old but he already has a lot of experience.

“He was the captain of PSV, he was the Player of the Year in Holland last season and, as a lot of people have just seen, he also had a great World Cup with his national team.

“So, it is clear that he is already a really, really good player but his age also means he also has the potential to become even better.

“Offensively, he is very versatile and on top of this we know he is a smart footballer and also a smart person, so we are really excited to be able to work with him.”

The 23-year-old attacker was born and raised in Eindhoven. He is a product of PSV’s youth system, progressing through the ranks before making his senior debut in February 2018.

Gakpo is a right-footed winger who is usually deployed on the left flank of a front three for PSV but played in the centre-forward role for the Netherlands at the World Cup under manager Louis van Gaal.

As a winger at PSV, he cuts inside on his right foot and moves to a more central attacking position. He then uses his dribbling skills and speed to take on defenders until he finds space to try out for a goal.

Gakpo is very strong, using his strength to hold off defenders who always come in contact with him during matches.

He also has great technique and ball control.

He has scored nine goals with 12 assists in the Dutch league this season for PSV.

In total, Gakpo has scored 55 goals and provided 50 assists in 159 appearances for PSV.

I see.
Hopefully My Arsenal signs Mykhaylo mudryk before the end of next week. The noise about his signing don too much already.

Them wiket them no see Cr7 were be free agent sign

Failure fully loaded






Yahoo boys don make us dey fear Oyibo friend request, we no even knw who be who. Imagine Jackie Chan dey beg for MTN card��

Good signing that boy sabi wella.

Better signing

Fine player, very creative with the ball and very fit physically. I wonder why Manchester United took Antony's deal as priority instead of Gakpo.

Tho any Brazilian born footballer is naturally gifted, that's d only reason I feel Antony can still step up.

Presently Gakpo is a better player then Antony but let's see how he adapts into english premier league b4 concluding.


Very Good Buy �

The boy is good.
Imagine if they had retained Mane. By now, they would have had Mane, Salah and Gakpo.
Every good team needs a formidable front 3 to conquer. Just like the MSN days of Barca.
Liverpool really messed up in letting Mane go. Dude was their best player for many seasons consistently, yet they kept citing technicalities for refusing to pay him.
I was in a similar situation some years back in a place I worked. I left just like Mane did and got better offers

He played brilliantly for Portugal in the world cup. Hope to see more from him in Liverpool. Great signing.

Modified.

He is a Netherland player. My bad

Great player

This one pain me sha for Manchester United

Welcome to Liverpool Cody!!!!!!!!!

I feel sad for my dear Man United. Too sluggish in the transfer window.

Nigerians just reached a personal agreement in principle with Peter Obi to sign him as the next president. He would be concluding his medicals in February and would be unveiled by May 29 2023 during the hand over ceremony in Eagle square Abuja.

Fantastic signing I must say.

Dude is being compared to Thierry Henry, he is good though but nothing as Henry ,seems this new crop of players are injected with super human serum.they get better each year.

United fans are in pains rn


But he will be a sub at Liverpool,we all know he won’t start ahead Daiz

I need 1million naira to support my crumbling business, whether Inform of loan or assistance.
I have the Faith and i believe that God can touch just one person heart here on nairaland to assist me in life.

Is that correct midfielder Mumu people

This past world cup really paved way for alot of players... liverpool don kolobi this one take.

What's the essence of signing all these low budget players after letting go of a high quality player like Mane? .

Which officially confirmed Nunez as a big flop!

Alright!

Mumu club

You're welcome to the Liverpool family, Gakpo.
Wishing you many successful years ahead filled with trophies while at Liverpool.
