Jurgen Klopp explains Liverpool's process behind signing Cody Gakpo as he declares the Dutchman not the finished product but an 'incredibly interesting player'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has discussed the thinking behind the club's decision to sign Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven - explaining that they do not yet view him as the finished article.

Gakpo, 23, was signed for £44m from PSV earlier this week with the Dutchman unveiled for the first time in public at Anfield on Friday night.

Discussing his signing prior to Liverpool's clash with Leicester, Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville on Sky Sports agreed that it was a necessary buy - but that Liverpool fans should not expect a totally polished player from the off.
