Liverpool signing Gakpo: The biggest difference to the Eredivisie? Speed

Cody Gakpo says he's enjoyed his first weeks with Liverpool.

The Holland attacker made the move from PSV Eindhoven at the beginning of the month.

He said, "They play very fast here and I like it.

"The main difference is the speed of the game. In the Premier League, everything is faster than in the Eredivisie. Usually at PSV we built a positional attack and spent a lot of time getting to the goal.

"Here we try to do it as quickly as possible - in the good sense of these words. Opponents also try to play like this.

"Compared to the Netherlands, there are many differences here, but I need to adapt as soon as possible. It depends only on me."
