Liverpool front man Cody Gakpo has praised one of his club and international teammates.

Gakpo, who arrived at the Anfield club in January, highlighted his gratitude to Virgil van Dijk in helping him settle at Liverpool over the past few months.

The attacker, who signed from PSV Eindhoven, has already become a feature of the Reds team, either as a left-winger or a false nine in a central position.

“My feeling is good," Gakpo told Voetbal International.

"I can look back on a good preparation and start of the season, in which I played in different positions,

"Of course, it can always be better, that's how I am wired, but I felt good and I'm enjoying myself in Liverpool. I came halfway through the season and there's a lot to think about. Everyone at the club helped me a lot, including Virgil van Dijk who showed me the ropes, and I am very grateful to him for that.

“In the beginning it always takes some getting used to when you are in a different position, but then it is also important to pick it up quickly and show that I am versatile as a player. You just want to play and be of value, it doesn't matter where."
