Cody Gakpo Completes Move To Liverpool

Liverpool has officially announced that it has paid €50 million (£44 million) to acquire PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo.

Before signing a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League club on Wednesday, December 28, the forward successfully completed his medical earlier in the aforementioned date.

The attacker has been in outstanding form for PSV this season, with nine goals and 12 assists in 14 Eredivisie games.

The 23-year-old’s signing came amid worries over Luis Diaz’s injury following knee surgery, and Nunez’s inability to perform as much as expected at the club.

After completing his move to Liverpool, Cody Gakpo said via the club’s website: ‘I feel really good, I’m really excited to be here. I’m looking forward to starting 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.’

He added: ‘I’m really looking forward to [playing at Anfield]. I heard a lot of great stories about the stadium, about the atmosphere. I cannot wait.

‘Obviously [my aim is] to win as many prizes as we can as a team, to perform well, to show the world what we can do as a team and what I can do as a player. And personally, just to keep developing and become a better player every season.

‘I’m really thankful that everybody is giving me such a warm welcome and I’m really looking forward to seeing everybody in the stadium and around the city.’
