Gakpo Liverpool signing 2022-23Getty

How Gakpo will fit in at Liverpool: Firmino's replacement, Nunez's partner or Salah's provider?

Liverpool’s January shopping looks to be well and truly underway.

Having celebrated Christmas with a 3-1 win at Aston Villa, there was more good news for Reds fans as Cody Gakpo's arrival from PSV Einhoven was announced on Thursday night.

The deal is worth an initial £37 million (€42m/$45m), rising to around £44m (€50m/$53m) when add-ons are factored in.

The coup comes as a blow for Manchester United, who had been leading the race to sign the 23-year-old, but a significant boost for Jurgen Klopp, who has been seeking reinforcements following injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota.

Gakpo had initially been a target for the summer, but Liverpool moved swiftly to land the versatile forward, once it became clear PSV were open to selling in January.
