Dirk Kuyt has actually been giving his thoughts on Gakpo’s start at Liverpool and his future potential.

Kuyt recognised that Gakpo did have a difficult task when he first arrived in England, being rushed straight into the side in January.

And although he has fared quite well, Kuyt now thinks he’s equipped to show his best form.

Klopp has had to deal with an unusual amount of important injuries over the last few seasons.

But given his summer signings, Klopp is now well equipped to cope with the absence of Thiago and Bajcetic at Liverpool.

Ryan Gravenberch is now starting to find his feet alongside the likes of Alexis Mac Allister.

And Liverpool fans will be extremely excited to see another 90 minutes of Dominik Szoboszlai when they next get the chance.

The Hungary international has taken no time to settle and already looks to be a crucial part of this side.
