Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has suggested that Cody Gakpo could be their only major signing in the January transfer window, saying the club “cannot play exclusively” in the transfer market. and that he has “belief and confidence” in the players he has.
With strikers Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota both sidelined through injury, Liverpool brought in Gakpo, who has scored three goals for the Netherlands at the World Cup, from PSV Eindhoven for a reported initial fee of £37m. ($44.67 million).
“I don’t want to disappoint anyone but we signed a brilliant player like Cody Gakpo and the next thing you can read is, ‘Who’s next?'” said the German.
“We cannot play like Monopoly. We’ve never done that… It’s an important part of my philosophy, working with faith and trust with the players we have and not constantly questioning them by telling them that We need another player to take their place.”
After a poor start to the season, Liverpool are 15 points behind leaders Arsenal but have won their last four league games to move up to sixth place ahead of a trip to Brentford on Monday.
