The Reds are showing off their new Dutch gem, who will be able to make his debut in 2023 and increase his goal tally

The transfer window left Anfield with a great gift. The arrival of the new year gave Liverpool fans a great joy, because after weeks of huge negotiations, they finally managed to sign Cody Gakpo from PSV in the Eredivisie, and with it, the illusion of reinforcing the attacking area, which has Mohamed Salah as the main driver, with three goals in the last five games that The Pool has held.

Gakpo was immediately embraced by his team-mates, fans and even club legends such as Dirk Kuyt, who hopes his compatriot can have a great story on Merseyside. Gakpo, 23, has kept a low profile compared to the old Cristiano Ronaldo who, prior to joining his new club Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, is driving around in a £250,000 Rolls Royce given to him by his wife Georgina Rodriguez.

It is said that this gift was given because of the great sadness that the Portuguese presented in his home and exclusive social circle, who could no longer stand to see him with his eyes down, because at 37 years of age, no elite club in Europe decided to sign him, despite being a free agent. That is why Ronaldo once again took refuge in luxury and money, signing for three seasons with the "Yellow Giants" of Arabia, who made history by giving him 200 million euros per year.

In contrast is Cody, who has a bright future with Liverpool, as his excellent performance for the Netherlands in Qatar has finally caught the eye of the British Isles' biggest club. Gakpo hit the back of the net three times during the World Cup, finding Senegal, Ecuador and hosts Qatar in the group stage, the victims of the talented player who came through the ranks of PSV's "Farmers".

<strong>Gakpo preferred the challenge of playing in Liverpool</strong>

Gakpo will already be able to enter the next call-up of Klopp, who decided to get the services of a rising star rather than a veteran like Cristiano, who already became a "rotten apple" both in his national team and in his former club, Manchester United, who in the middle of the World Cup decided to terminate his contract. Now away from top football, Ronaldo will make money, while Gakpo will score goals, which the Anfield fans will love.
