The transfer fee is between £35m and £45m. A PSV statement on Monday said: "PSV and LFC have reached an agreement on the proposed transfer of Cody Gakpo.

Gakpo has all the attributes required of a modern forward and after his perfect treble at the World Cup had clubs across Europe scrambling for his signature before Liverpool won the race. That mentality will have impressed his suitors as much as his league-topping tally of goals and assists. His steadily rising goals- and assists-per-90 minutes stats for his club show that extra homework is paying off. At PSV he has shone as a left winger, cutting inside. A goal in each group stage game - one with his head, one with his left foot and one with his right foot - was testament to his rapidly improving play in the final third, appetite for the big stage and versatility.

The PSV winger was one of the biggest sensations of Qatar 2022.

Liverpool are set to beat Manchester United to the £50 million ($60m) signing of PSV forward Cody Gakpo.

So if they can get it over the line, it'll be even sweeter for Klopp and Co. Crucially, he is capable of operating across the forward line, providing the kind of versatility Liverpool crave, and his age, 23, means there is room for improvement too, as there is with Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Fabio Carvalho and Diogo Jota, the club's last four attacking signings. "The 23-year-old attacker will immediately leave for England where he will undergo the necessary formalities to complete the transfer.

Liverpool appear to have won the race to sign Dutch international forward Cody Gakpo after PSV Eindhoven announced an agreement with the English giants on Monday.

I am not since yesterday in the business and so I know. The scoring, in the beginning, is not so important. Klopp is aware of the criticism being aimed at Nunez due to his wastefulness in front of goal, but is not worried about his progress at Anfield and insists he had an "exceptional game" at Villa Park.

Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign Cody Gakpo for a fee between £35m and £45m from PSV; Jurgen Klopps side need to make up ground on the top four ...

Gakpo has all the attributes required of a modern forward and after his perfect treble at the World Cup had clubs across Europe scrambling for his signature before Liverpool won the race. "It wouldn't surprise me if they did something else in the midfield but Gakpo is an exciting signing. Premier League rules require completed documents by midday of the last working day before the match. As a result, Liverpool's forward options are reduced to Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez. That mentality will have impressed his suitors as much as his league-topping tally of goals and assists. His steadily rising goals and assists-per-90 minutes stats for his club show that extra homework is paying off.

The Dutch World Cup star fills a gap that has emerged in the Liverpool team, and may provide solutions elsewhere in the future.

The move to Liverpool will test whether he can make the step up. The 23-year-old fills that immediate need for a wide forward on the left with Diaz and Jota out injured. 8 shirt usually given to a midfielder, he played a more central role either as a striker or as an attacking midfielder between two wide forwards. The Senegalese didn’t look like a typical target man but was nevertheless effective in this role. The transfer rumour mill, when combined with video games and fantasy football, can lead to a skewed perception of how soccer’s transfer market works. Standing at around 6 foot 2, he looks more like a typical target man but is perhaps most effective as a winger. It was likely accelerated by a setback to the recovery of Luis Diaz from injury. Names such as Jude Bellingham, Enzo Fernandez, and Moises Caicedo have been linked with the club, but wanting a player, and them being available, are two separate things. It doesn’t necessarily affect their pursuit of a midfielder. He has played mostly on the left wing for PSV, cutting inside onto his stronger right foot, but for the Netherlands, as seen at the World Cup where he wore the No. It is something the club are looking to address, and something they tried to do in a fashion at the end of the 2022 summer transfer window with the last-minute signing of Arthur. The transfer is a rare example of a club needing to fill a gap in their squad midseason and a quality player potentially able to fill it being available at the right time.
