A January transfer to avoid the slowdown after Christmas. Liverpool have been active market participants in recent years after years of avoidance, and Jürgen Klopp now appears to have found another gem in Cody Gakpo. Although Anfield has not yet provided confirmation, PSV has made it official on their end.

Liverpool took immediate action to beat Tottenham to the acquisition of Luis Daz last year during a period that is typically difficult to discover value in, The Colombian outperformed even Mohamed Salah as a motivating force in the second half of the season, similar to Gakpo, who was supposed to be in high demand, Manchester United was anticipated

To make an offer before FSG jumped the queue. Klopp is looking for a similar result, However, the main aspect of the Dáz transfer was that Liverpool was merely pushing forwards its summer plans. Due to competing bids scaring FSG, he would not have been signed on a whim. Although, unlike D'az, it is not immediately evident how Gakpo fits into the overall plan, 

It is reasonable to infer that he does. While Diogo Jota offers more than enough challenge, the Colombian appears to have the left wing nailed down when healthy. Darwin Nez, who holds the club record, was just recently signed to play through the middle, where Gakpo frequently played at the World Cup.

The next attacking acquisition

That leaves the right flank, which Salah has dominated since his signing in 2017, He is currently the sole "legacy" forwards in the starting lineup, therefore it makes sense that the next attacking acquisition would be looking for his replacement, Gakpo is that player, then? The emphatic answer is "maybe." The sample size is somewhat small because he has only played there 20 times in his career, as opposed to 163 times on the left.
