German ‘fully behind’ the Liverpool signing of brilliant star who has OFFICIALLY completed Anfield move

Dietmaar Hamann is fully behind Liverpool’s move for Cody Gakpo, and feels he could play a similar role to that Joelinton does for Newcastle in midfield.

The Merseysiders have agreed a deal for the Dutch attacker worth around €50million and Hamann has opened up and admitted that he is fully behind the signing of the Dutch star

“They have needed a player like him for the last few years,” the German told talkSPORT.

“I don’t think they have enough of a goal threat from midfield.

“They are always a threat from set-pieces and that will be strengthened with his size and physicality. And in midfield, at times I feel they lack a bit of physicality.

“They don’t have a player who has the physicality that he has got. I always look at Joelinton as a player in the mould Liverpool needed because he can drive from midfield, he can head the ball, very good technically, and he has got a bit of pace about him as well.

“He is a great addition and I hope we see a lot of him in the next few weeks and months.”

Cody Gakpo Liverpoolfc.com: “I feel really good, I’m really excited to be here. I’m looking forward to start training and start playing for this amazing club.

“I think this is a great club for me to come in and try to show what I can [do] and try to help the team to achieve more beautiful moments that they already did in the past years.

“I think for me personally it’s also good to develop here and there’s a lot of great players here [who] I can learn a lot of things from.”
