The key for Liverpool and players li💎ke Gakpo is that they make an impact when they get a chance. If he can do that, then the Reds will easily push for trophies this term.

At £35m, Gakpo is already looking a bit of a bargain sꦡigning and long-term, he should prove be a superb piece of business for the club.
