Liverpool supporters were very emotional after defeating Aston Villa, but were then filled with euphoria by the surprise news from PSV that they had agreed a fee for Cody Gakpo, ahead of the Dutchman’s transfer.
Despite some whispers of interest during the World Cup and in the past, there were certainly no strong rumors about this deal until it broke down on Boxing Day night and now Fabrizio Romano has confirmed more details about the transfer.
The Italian journalist tweeted: ‘Cody Gakpo agreed a six-year contract with Liverpool, as did Darwin Núñez last summer. All clauses have already been approved. ???????????? #LFC Guaranteed Fee: £37m.

The signing of the 23-year-old for six years is confirmation that Jurgen Klopp is once again looking to the present and the future with his recent deals and in the attacker, we have a real threat for many more years.
The short-term solution to the absence of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Bobby Firmino will be a huge boost, the long-term juggling of a now strong six-man attack will be a headache for the boss but exciting for the supporters.
Operating mainly from the left, the man with three World Cup goals will take on our Porto signed Colombian and the pair will form a potent duo for many years to come.
Being able to sign a player of international pedigree for an initial fee of less than £40m is a huge coup and shows once again the drawing power of our club.
