Liverpool boss Klopp: We all believe in Gakpo here

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is confident of Cody Gakpo quickly settling.

Klopp is convinced Gakpo will be a long-term hit at Liverpool.

He said: "His defending is outstanding, you can say we bought a striker and you talk about his defending but the defending in this position is outstanding, it is what we need.

"Everyone is used to when the ball goes wide and inside to the six there is someone around, all of a sudden no-one is around. Then Chelsea two sixes that is the decisive bit in the engine room of the team. We just let them pass the ball and that is not good.

"You can see in his finishing He is a sensational finisher, his shooting from distance is outstanding but in games he has been in a bit of a rush. He has a long-term contract here. I am completely happy- people say he didn't score but coming as a striker in our team at this moment, 'congratulations!', and then getting judged because you don't score that's not really cool.

"Internally it is all fine and he is fine. He is a smart boy, he really wants to learn and is a good listener. Everything is fine."
