Gakpo has yet to make his debut and has already divided the Liverpool dressing room

The close of 2023 holds a big opportunity for Liverpool as they look to continue their climb up the table in the battle for a place in next season's European competition. With a home clash against Leicester City, the Red's know they will be chasing fifth place and on course for a top-flight finish. The clash against the Foxes is an important game, which is why Klopp will use the best available.

The German coach has left all the responsibility and weight of the goals in the hands of superstar Mohamed Salah, who after not going to the World Cup in Qatar with his Egypt team, has responded in this resumption of England's competitions, but Klopp knows that this is not enough, so he celebrated the management of the board in the transfer of Cody Gakpo, one of the stars of the Netherlands in the World Cup.

The first task Klopp has demanded of Gakpo, Salah will finally have a goalscoring partner

Gakpo only arrived at Anfield this week, where he was greeted by team-mates and legends alike, with the latter hoping the 23-year-old can shine for the Reds. Cody has declared himself ready to be picked up by Klopp for the next match, and with no time to lose on Merseyside, the Dutchman could get his first minutes for the Island's biggest club this weekend.

The Netherlands striker is on fire as he scored three times at the World Cup in Qatar, with the Group Stage being his favourite stage as he scored against Senegal, Ecuador and hosts Qatar on Matchday 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Gakpo arrived at Liverpool as a special request from Klopp, who is continuing to rejuvenate the squad for the coming campaigns where the Red's need to stay at the top.

Klopp will make a decision

The attacker formed in the youth academy of PSV, had a couple of days off after representing the Netherlands in Qatar, and after the elimination at the hands of world champions Argentina, Gakpo trained in private, and even showed in his presentation with Liverpool to have a great physique, which pleased Klopp because he can take into account, under the eyes of players like Fabio Carvalho or Darwin Nunez, who share position with the player of The Oranje.
