Liverpool attacker Gakpo: I haven't told Virgil, but I'm really grateful

Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo says Virgil van Dijk has been key to him settling so quickly.

The former PSV Eindhoven captain has impressed since his January arrival and admits his Holland captain has helped him settle.

Gakpo told liverpoolfc.com: “He's helping me, he's guiding me, I have to say. I don't think I said it even to him yet but I'm really grateful.

“He's like a big brother here to me. From the day I first arrived he's helping me with everything outside the pitch and inside the pitch. I'm really grateful for that.

“Hopefully we can have some really good moments together."
