Dirk Kuyt took to Twitter to congratulate compatriot Cody Gakpo on sealing a move to Liverpool, wishing him great success as he prepares to sport the same number that the Dutch legend wore during his stay at Anfield.
Kuyt spent six years at the club, during which time he scored 71 goals in 285 appearances in the No 18 shirt, which the ex-PSV forward will now wear under Jurgen Klopp.
Gakpo joined Liverpool in a £44million switch from the Eredivisie club, putting pen to paper on a five-and-a-half year deal at the Reds, although Klopp has been quick to claim that his arrival does not spell the end of Roberto Firmino's stay on Merseyside.
