Soccer star Cody Gakpo has agreed a £37m deal with Liverpool after a successful World Cup campaign.
Skipper PSV Eindhoven and Liverpool signed the deal for the 23-year-old to join the Premier League.
The Reds stole the show from Manchester United, who also wanted to sign the young talent.
“PSV management completed negotiations on Boxing Day and gave Gakpo permission to travel to England,” a statement from the Eredivisie side said.
The Togo-born is expected to arrive in England for a medical and his fee could rise to £44.3m, a record for the Dutch outfit.
Gakpo has been in fine form this season, scoring nine goals and providing 12 assists in 14 league games for PSV.
The youngster also managed three goals and recorded two assists in five Europa League games.
The young star has just come off the World Cup where he reached the quarterfinals losing to Argentina. He scored in each of his country’s group stage matches against Senegal, Ecuador and Qatar.
The Liverpool coach, Jürgen Klopp, will see his squad strengthened with the signing of the Dutch winger after the injuries suffered by Luis Díaz and Diogo Jota.
